MEDINA, OHIO – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) last night attended the annual Celebration of Corn & Wheat, sponsored by the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association in Bucyrus, Ohio at which he was presented with the “Guardian of Corn & Wheat” award. The award recognizes Congressman Miller’s steadfast advocacy on behalf of Ohio’s grain farmers. 

“Working with Ohio farmers and the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association to advance their priorities has been an honor and a lot of fun,” said Congressman Miller. “Our farmers are the bedrock of a vibrant agriculture industry. The Association’s advocacy on behalf of Ohio farmers has been instrumental in guiding my work as a member of the House Agriculture Committee and on the Farm Bill. I will continue to work alongside Ohio farmers to make sure they can continue to feed and fuel our nation.” 

“Congressman Max Miller is a strong supporter of Ohio’s grain producers,” said Tadd Nicholson, Executive Director of the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association. “He has worked tirelessly on sustainable aviation fuel, higher blends of ethanol in liquid fuels, and the Farm Bill. We are honored to officially name him as a Guardian of Ohio Corn & Wheat.”
