                        Wednesday, May 17, 2017

  Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jay 
and Alice Anne Yeargin of Weakley County, Tennessee. The Yeargin's were 
named runner-ups in the Achievement contest at this year's Annual 
Meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Phoenix, Arizona.
   The Yeargins farm approximately 5,000 acres where they raise corn, 
soybeans, wheat, and cattle. They also host groups on their farm each 
year, including the Tennessee Governor's School for the Agricultural 
Sciences, to share the story of agriculture. The Achievement Award 
recognizes young farmers and ranchers who have excelled in their 
farming or ranching operations and exhibited superior leadership 
abilities.
   Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have such a family as a member of our 
community and want to recognize them for their service to West 
Tennessee and to the agriculture industry.
