Oct. 5—WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Austin Scott, R-Ga., received the Friend of Farm Bureau Award from the American Farm Bureau Federation recently for having a voting record in the 117th Congress that supports the nation's farmers.

"Ninety percent of America's food supply comes from 12% of the farms, and we've seen these past few years how critical farmers are to our supply chains," Scott said. "Supporting our farmers is supporting our country's well-being, and I am proud to represent Georgia's farmers in Congress."

In awarding the Friend of Farm Bureau Award, AFBF considered the votes legislators cast on bills supporting agriculture and rural communities.

Scott is a senior member of the House Agriculture Committee and is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management.
