From removing unnecessary regulatory burdens, to helping write the Farm Bill in the House Agriculture Committee, agriculture issues have been a priority for me in Congress and I will continue to work to advance policies to ensure that American agriculture producers are able thrive and grow.” “Representative Tipton is no stranger to agriculture and rural Colorado. He has worked tirelessly to protect private property rights of Colorado's farmers and ranchers from government overreach through his positions on the House Agriculture Committee and House Natural Resources Committee,” said CFB president Don Shawcroft, "He has fought for tax reform to allow farms and ranches to be passed from one generation to the next and worked to halt needless regulations in Washington, DC from negatively impacting at home." Tipton serves on the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committees and as chairman of the House Small Business Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade. Background courtesy of Farm Bureau Colorado: The Friend of Farm Bureau award is given at the end of each Congress to members of Congress whose voting records align with the American Farm Bureau Federation’s priority issues established by the Board of Directors, the number of bills that a member sponsored or their leadership role on Farm Bureau priority issues, and how accessible and responsive that member was to Farm Bureau members and leaders.
