“We appreciate all the work Rep.
Scott does on behalf of wheat farmers and are proud to present him with the
2022 Wheat Leader of the Year Award,” said President Berg. “I was honored to
testify before the full House Agriculture Committee and two separate
subcommittees last year as the committee sought to review 2018 Farm Bill
programs. Rep. Scott and his staff have been steadfast advocates for wheat
growers by granting us a seat at the table as he and the committee work to form
policies and programs that work for wheat growers.”

The award is given annually by
NAWG to one Member of Congress based on their demonstrated commitment to the
well-being and goals of the wheat industry. It is the wheat industry’s highest
legislative award.

NAWG also presented six other
Members of Congress with its Wheat Advocate Award for their support for the
wheat industry that goes above and beyond the norm.
