Forty-nine legislators were named Ag All Stars by Food Producers of Idaho based upon their voting records on select pieces of legislation in the 2025 Idaho Legislative Session.  

Food Producers of Idaho, representing over 45 different agriculture commodity and farm organizations in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, annually honors legislators for their voting record on issues supported or opposed by the organization. According to Executive Director Rick Waitley, the first year a legislator is honored, the award is an Ag License plate that reads, “AL STR.” Each year after the initial award, a smaller plate with that year engraved on it is presented to each honoree. 

Ag All Star legislators are important to Idaho’s agriculture and natural resource industries. The award has been presented for the last 25 legislative sessions. Every bill that is identified as a tracked issue by the Food Producers organization may be a bill that will be used on the organization’s scorecard at the end of the session.
