Boozman, Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, accepts the Friend of Farm Credit Award from Newport Farmer and ADFCC member Jeff Rutledge. LITTLE ROCK—U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman (R-AR) received the 2025 Friend of Farm Credit Award from the AgriBank District Farm Credit Council (ADFCC) for his leadership in advancing agriculture policies that support the long-term success of family farms, the industry and rural communities across Arkansas and nationwide. Boozman accepted the award during a ceremony in Little Rock Wednesday with Arkansas members of the Farm Credit Services. “We thank Senator Boozman for the strong, steadfast support he has demonstrated for the Farm Credit mission and for the long-standing, collaborative relationship we have with him,” said Jeff Rutledge, a farmer from Newport, AgHeritage Farm Credit Services board vice chairman, and ADFCC member. “We are grateful for the formidable voice and leadership he provides on behalf of agriculture and rural communities. We are honored to celebrate him as an AgriBank District Farm Credit Council Friend of Farm Credit and a friend of agriculture and rural America.” “Hardworking Arkansas farmers and ranchers who grow our food, fiber and fuel are struggling to keep up, let alone break even, in this current economic climate. Natural State ag advocates and nationwide agriculture organizations have been calling for improvements to the farm safety net. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers some of the most historic investments in the farm economy in decades to support farm families and rural communities. I’m grateful for Farm Credit’s partnership in advancing policies that strengthen agriculture, and I look forward to continuing our work to ensure farmers have access to the levels of credit they need to keep farming,” Boozman said. Sen. Boozman and Arkansas Farm Credit Services members pose after awarding the senator for his outstanding service to American agriculture and rural communities. The Farm Credit System is a nationwide network of borrower-owned lending institutions with the mission of providing a reliable source of credit for the nation’s farmers and ranchers. The ADFCC represents Farm Credit farmers and ranchers in a 15-state area from Wyoming to Ohio and Minnesota to Arkansas. About half the nation’s cropland is located within the AgriBank District. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:02:47Z |
