The American Farm Bureau Federation presented its highest honor to former House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award. “To the Farm Bureau, thank you for supporting me all those years.” During his comments, Peterson recognized two special guests sitting in the crowd; House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson and new Ranking Member Angie Craig. Peterson said he worked with Craig for many years. “She has just done an outstanding job for us in Minnesota and also on the committee, she’s someone you can work with and she gets it, she understands agriculture.” Peterson said he represented a Republican district for 30 years and Craig is doing the same thing. “She’s representing some real solid red areas and she’s outperforming other Democrats by quite a bit and that’s why she is now the ranking member of the committee.”
