From Representative Tom Dent
"
"Dear Friends and Neighbors,
My love for farming and ranching runs deep. Agriculture has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. So when I recently received an award for my work in the ag industry I was extremely touched and surprised. I view it as a way of life, not only to make a living, but to put food in the grocery stores and on the tables for everyone.
Earlier this fall, I was notified by CropLife America (CLA) I was being recognized with its State Leadership Award for my support of farmers, ranchers and the pesticide industry. Click here to read the news release.
While I am always working on ag-related issues, we have had legislation before us in the last couple sessions related to pesticides. I have been very involved to ensure there is a balance between our ag folks and those who are concerned about impacts to the environment.
I look forward to continuing my work on these issues.
It is an honor to serve as your state representative.
Sincerely,
Tom Dent"
