                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize the 60th Anniversary of Alabama Farm-City Week.
  Over the past 60 years during the week of Thanksgiving; Farm-City 
week is observed to express gratitude for the bounty with which God has 
blessed our land while recognizing our farmers and communities who help 
make the Agriculture industry so successful.
  In our great state, Agriculture and related industries provide over 
half a million good-paying jobs. During Farm-City week, I hope everyone 
in East Alabama will recognize our farmers and be appreciative of all 
they do.
  In Alabama, the 2016 Farm-City theme is ``Agriculture: Stewards of a 
Healthy Planet.''
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 60th Anniversary of 
Farm-City week.

                          ____________________
