RECOGNIZING THE JONES FAMILY AS THE SEBASTIAN COUNTY FARM FAMILY OF THE 
                                  YEAR

                                 ______

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 30, 2010

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Jones 
family for its excellence in operating a thriving family farm and the 
honor of being named the Sebastian County Farm Family of the Year.
  Cody and Angela Jones, along with their daughter Hallie, operate a 
successful farm consisting of three poultry houses, and twenty-four 
head of cattle located on one-hundred and sixty acres. Through 
inventive ideas such as automating many of their farm processes and 
utilizing LED lighting in their poultry houses, the Jones family is 
expanding the business at a time when many companies are scaling back.
  The Jones' also share their knowledge of the industry with other 
farmers in the community. Cody serves as a board member of both the 
Sebastian County Farm Bureau and the University of Arkansas Extension 
Service and Angela serves as Chairperson for the Sebastian County Farm 
Bureau Women's Committee.
  There is no doubt that the Jones' hard work and sharing of expertise 
benefits not just their farm but also farms and families within their 
community, the state and throughout America. I ask my colleagues today 
to join with me in congratulating the Jones family successes in the 
farming industry and the honor of being named Sebastian County Farm 
Family of the Year.
