Washington, D. C. (AgPR) June 15 2018 – American Agri-Women (AAW) proudly presented the 2018 Champion of Agriculture Award to two very deserving individuals in Congress during their annual Fly-In in Washington, D.C. in June. AAW presented Representative James Comer of Kentucky and Representative Steve Pearce of New Mexico with the organization's most prestigious Champion of Agriculture Award. This award was initiated in 2010 to recognized members of Congress who have displayed exemplary courage in presenting and supporting legislation that promotes American agriculture, rural American lifestyles and the United States Constitution. This is a non-partisan award with efforts made to include both houses and both parties, when possible. Since 2010 there have been two awards given each year. The Champion of Agriculture Awards are presented during the AAW Annual Legislative Fly-In in Washington DC during June. They were made by American Agri-Women President Jeanette Lombardo at the AAW Congressional Reception held in the Longworth House Agriculture Committee Room.
