                       Wednesday, October 7, 2015

  Mr. CARNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Mark Isaacs 
and his work on behalf of Delaware farmers. This weekend, Mr. Isaacs' 
work was acknowledged by the Sussex County Farm Bureau with the 
Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award. Mr. Isaacs is a lifelong 
resident of Delaware-- born and raised in Sussex County. He received 
his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Clemson University, and a 
Doctorate from Virginia Tech.
   In 1986, Mr. Isaacs began his career at the University of Delaware. 
Since then, he has contributed to UD, and Delaware's agriculture 
community, in innumerable ways. Mr. Isaacs now serves as the Director 
of the Elbert N. & Ann V. Carvel Research and Education Center. He 
oversees, directs, and supports research in addition to teaching 
students in several subject areas.
   Mr. Isaacs not only plays an active role at UD, he also has given 
back to our community in many other ways. He has worked with high 
school students on special projects and with local high schools to 
improve their agriculture and environmental programs. He has also 
served on boards of education, agriculture task forces, and policy and 
scholarship committees.
   I want to thank Mr. Isaacs for his dedicated service to the Delaware 
farm community, and commend him on his well-deserved Distinguished 
Service Award.
