Rep. Angie Craig Honored with 2023 National Corn Growers Assoc. President’s Award
Corn Growers recognized Rep. Craig’s dedication to supporting Minnesota agriculture
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig was honored by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) with the 2023 President’s Award for her dedication to family farmers across our nation.
NCGA President and fellow Minnesotan Tom Haag presented the award to Rep. Craig, citing her years of work in Congress to champion the issues important to Minnesota corn growers.
“Whether it is ensuring that consumers have access to higher levels of ethanol or it’s working to advance corn grower priorities in the farm bill, Rep. Craig has been a tireless advocate for growers and is one of our biggest congressional allies,” Haag said. “She makes me proud to say I am from Minn., and it’s an absolute honor to present her with the President’s Award.”
“Minnesota’s Second District is home to so many of the corn growers who get food on our tables and fuel in our vehicles – it is my honor to represent them in Congress and on the House Agriculture Committee,” said Rep. Craig. “I’m proud of the bipartisan track record of results we’ve built over the years and am committed to working with members of both parties to do what’s best for Minnesota’s corn industry. Thank you, President Haag, and to the National Corn Growers Association for this award.”
In Congress, Rep. Craig is a leader in the fight to make year-round E15 sales permanent and expand crop insurance programs for family farmers. Last year, Rep. Craig stood up to her party and stopped changes to Stepped-up Basis from going into effect and continues to push to strengthen the Renewable Fuel Standard.
