Brown and Kaptur recognized
WASHINGTON – National Farmers Union announced this week the recipients of the organization’s highest
legislative honor, the 2009 Golden Triangle Awards. The annual award is presented to members of Congress
who have demonstrated leadership on issues relevant to America’s family farmers, ranchers and rural
communities.
Among those honored were Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. Three other Ohio
congressmen were honored along with more than 25 other senators.
"These leaders have demonstrated a commitment to developing constructive solutions to address the
challenges facing those in rural America while also looking for creative opportunities for the
future," NFU President Roger Johnson said.
The Golden Triangle Award is based on NFU’s symbol – a triangle with "legislation" and
"cooperation" forming the sides and "education" the base.
