Agriculture is one of Tennessee’s most important industries, with more than 66,000 farms contributing tens of billions of dollars each year to our state’s economy. For those men and women of @TNFarmBureau to give me this honor means quite a lot to me. Thank you all very much. https://t.co/i1vwJ9sFyV — PolitiTweet.org
