Congressman Fred Keller Recognized by the American Farm Bureau Federation for Work in Supporting Pennsylvania's Agriculture Community

Today, Congressman Fred Keller (PA-12) received the Friend of Farm Bureau Award presented by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) for his work in Congress to support Pennsylvania's farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers. The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau nominated Congressman Keller for the award, and he was approved by the American Farm Bureau Federation Board.

On the award, Congressman Keller made the following statement:

"As food prices increase, adding to the historic inflation facing American families, we must do everything we can to alleviate pressures on our farmers and allow them to do what they do best--feed our families. I am fighting to ensure the continued success of Pennsylvania's agriculture industry by reversing overly burdensome regulations and barriers that have caused needless uncertainty for farmers, ranchers, and working families. Whether it's been at a county fair, the PA Farm Show, or a family farm, I always enjoy meeting with our farmers and learning about the issues important to them and their families."
