“Sen. Moran has exhibited unwavering support for the ag retail industry, especially related to addressing the nation’s supply chain challenges. His support for investing in transportation and broadband infrastructure has been critical to addressing the needs of ARA members. Sen. Moran has been a great voice for agriculture in the efforts to reform federal regulations that allow for the hiring of additional commercial drivers that are critical to keeping the agriculture industry running.”

Daren Coppock, ARA President and CEO.

“Ag retailers play an essential role in providing necessary crop nutrients for our farmers in Kansas and across the country to feed the world. As producers grapple with higher input costs, including skyrocketing prices for fertilizers, I am committed to working across the supply chain to finding solutions to meet these challenges and deliver American-produced food around the world.”

Senator Jerry Moran.

“Sen. Young has been a true leader in promoting policies that protect ARA members’ freedom to operate and their ability to deliver essential products and services to their farmer customers. He has supported efforts to address supply chain issues, including policies that would address the growing driver shortage.I am honored to present this award on behalf of all ARA members and the ag retail industry to both of these worthy recipients.”

said Daren Coppock.

“Supply chain problems and rising inflation are among the issues that concern Hoosiers the most. Our farmers and ag retailers are eager to grow and sell the food our families need, and the DRIVE-Safe Act will help ensure there are enough truck drivers to deliver these goods to their final destinations. I will continue working with ag retailers to ensure American farm products reach the kitchen tables of American families.”

affirmed Senator Todd Young.
