                         Thursday, July 1, 2010

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct privilege to 
recognize the Salter family for being named the 2010 Santa Rosa County 
Outstanding Farm Family of the Year. The hard work and dedication of 
this family helps not only feed many in the community, but also so many 
throughout the country. For that reason, Madam Speaker, I am honored to 
recognize their accomplishments.
  John, Stacy and their daughter Kailee are fourth generation farmers. 
The Salter family has been a vital part of the Chumuckla community 
since the late 1800s. While many things have changed in the field of 
agricultural science since the 1800s, the Salter family has remained 
steadfast in their honored tradition of working hard and providing 
quality goods to market.
  In addition to having a determined work ethic that is deeply rooted 
in the Salter family, they have also begun to sow the seeds of 
voluntarism in the Northwest Florida community. Mr. John Salter has 
served as the Chairman of the Blackwater Soil and Conservation District 
for the past 12 years and is currently Chairman of the Santa Rosa 
County Farm Service Agency County Committee. Furthermore, Mr. Salter 
serves as a council member of the Three Rivers Resource Conservation 
and Development Council. He is also a member of Florida Farm Bureau, 
Florida Peanut Producers Association and the Southeast Peanut Farmers' 
Association.
  Madam Speaker, our great nation was built by farmers and their 
families. The Salters serve as an example to all our nation's family 
farmers. On behalf of the entire United States Congress I applaud their 
efforts and congratulate them on being named the Santa Rosa County 
Outstanding Farm Family of the Year. My wife Vicki and I thank them for 
their work and wish them continued success in the future.
