OK Farm Repot: 2009 Stories of the Year-Number Nine: Frank Lucas Becomes Top Republican on House Ag Committee

Story number nine of 2009 is the official word that Oklahoma Congressman Frank Lucas becomes the ranking minority member of the House Ag Committee. Lucas, a farmer/rancher from Roger Mills County, takes the position vacated by Congressman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, who was term limited out of the leadership position.

Lucas quickly established himself as a loud advocate for the farmer and ranchers of this country. He argued strongly against the Climate Change Legislation in the House, and has also worked on a variety of other issues over the course of these past 12 months.
