                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 16, 2005

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate an exceptional family from my home state of Alabama. On 
December 4th, Mike and Denise Henry of Montgomery County, Alabama, were 
awarded the 2005 title of Outstanding Young Farm Family for Alabama.
  Mike and Denise are exceptional young farmers I met on a recent tour 
of Third District farms. The family manages a preconditioning business 
for weaned calves, and has 600 brood cows as well as registered Angus 
and Charolais cattle on their farm. They also own a catering business.
  As the 2005 Outstanding Young Farm Family, the Henrys will 
participate in many events to encourage other young people to become 
involved in Alabama agriculture. This is a great honor for this family, 
and speaks to their hard work and dedication as outstanding leaders in 
our community and in our state.
  As a member of the Committee on Agriculture in Congress, I am 
privileged to honor Mike, Denise and their five children for this award 
today, and congratulate them for this notable accomplishment.
