Sen. Mike Johanns has been chosen as “Ag Person of the Year” by ProFarmer, a national agriculture publication, for his stance on against health care reform and climate change legislation. 

“I am humbled and appreciative to ProFarmer for this recognition,” Johanns said. “Agriculture is the backbone of Nebraska’s economy, and allows our country to feed the world. I have carried my passion for agriculture with me since growing up on a dairy farm, and this honor means a great deal to me. I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of Nebraska’s and our nation’s farmers and ranchers as a United States Senator.”
