                       RECOGNIZING MR. SAM MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED WHITFIELD

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 2, 2005

  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize one of my 
constituents, Mr. Sam Moore of Butler, Kentucky. Mr. Moore has been 
actively involved in agriculture in my Congressional District serving 
as a member of the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors 
for the last 30 years. I have known Mr. Moore for several years and 
have found him to be a man of incredible integrity who is devoted to 
helping others. He is an active member of the community as well as a 
forceful leader in the agriculture field.
  Mr. Moore hails from Butler County, where he farms more than 4,300 
acres producing corn, soybeans, and wheat. He and his wife, Helen, have 
6 children that frequently contribute to the family farm, teaching them 
time-honored values of hard work and respect for the farmer. While Mr. 
Moore has been active in production agriculture, he has also been 
involved with many other important agri-businesses making him an 
incredible asset to his community. He is the recipient of numerous 
awards, having been recognized as the Outstanding Young Farmer by the 
Kentucky Jaycees in 1973 as well as being named the 2003 Man of the 
Year In Kentucky Agriculture by Progressive Farmer Magazine. He has 
also been very active in the American Farm Bureau, the American Soybean 
Association, the Kentucky Beef Cattle Association, and the Kentucky 
Corn Grower's Association.
  Because Mr. Moore will soon retire from his tenure as President of 
the Kentucky Farm Bureau, I would like to recognize his service at the 
Bureau and his dedication to improving agricultural interests in my 
home State. Without his personal connections with many influential 
agriculture leaders, not to mention his tireless efforts on behalf of 
farmers in the Commonwealth, Kentucky would not be excelling in this 
industry. I am sure the Kentucky Farm Bureau is sorry to see him leave, 
but I am confident that Mr. Moore will continue to stay active and be 
relied upon as a leader for Kentucky farming for many years to come.

                          ____________________
