Ohio Farm Bureau has joined several agricultural organizations across the state in endorsing U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown for chair of the House Agriculture Committee in the 120th Congress.
Brown currently serves as the committee’s vice ranking member and has developed strong connections with Ohio’s agricultural community.
Brown has supported bipartisan initiatives to expand year-round E15 fuel sales and received the Friend of Agriculture recognition from Ohio Farm Bureau AGGPAC during the 2026 election.
“Congresswoman Brown has been a good friend to Ohio agriculture, and we appreciate her willingness to listen to our farm families and work across party lines on issues that matter to our industry,” said Ohio Farm Bureau President Bill Patterson.
“As farmers continue to face rising costs and uncertainty, we need leaders who understand the challenges facing agriculture and are focused on long-term solutions. Congresswoman Brown has long demonstrated her commitment to bringing every perspective to the table, and we believe she would be a strong voice for our farmers as chair of the House Agriculture Committee,” Patterson added.
Ohio Farm Bureau said it will continue collaborating with lawmakers from both parties to promote policies that benefit farm families and support the long-term growth of Ohio agriculture.
