Ag All Star Legislators Named

Forty legislators were named Ag All Stars by Food Producers of Idaho based upon their voting records on selected pieces of legislation in the 2022 Idaho Legislative Session.

Food Producers of Idaho, representing over 45 different agriculture commodity and farm organizations in Idaho, annually honors legislators for their voting record on issues supported or opposed by the organization. According to Executive Director Rick Waitley, the first year a legislator is honored, the award is an Ag License plate that reads, “AL STR”. Each year after the initial award, a smaller plate with that year engraved on it is presented to each honoree.

Ag All Star legislators are important to Idaho’s agriculture and natural resource industries. The award has been presented for the last twenty-three legislative sessions. Every bill that is identified as a tracked issue by the Food Producers organization may be a bill that will be used on the organization’s scorecard at the end of the session. The following were recognized as 2022 Food Producers of Idaho Ag All Stars:

Cattle are the ultimate upcyclers! They eat grasses or other food by-products (like corn stalks) that are inedible by humans. This is digested by the cow and then we are able to eat the meat, as well as use all parts of the animals for things we use everyday.
