National Corn Growers Association President Garry Niemeyer today presented NCGA's President's Award to Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) during NCGA's Corn Congress meeting in Washington. The President's Award is given annually to a leader who has worked to advance issues important to corn growers and agriculture.
"It is my great pleasure to present the NCGA President's Award to Senator Debbie Stabenow for her continued leadership and support for the agriculture community, especially during the current farm bill process," Niemeyer said.
