  IN RECOGNITION OF THE ALABAMA OUTSTANDING YOUNG FARM FAMILY FOR 2017

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 11, 2017

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
to recognize the Alabama Outstanding Young Farm Family for 2017, the 
Lovvorn Family.
  The Lovvorn's, Eric, Carrly, Chole (2) and Landon (3 months), live in 
near Ranburne, Alabama, and have a four-house poultry farm and cattle. 
They also grow hay and are co-owners of LHT Trucking, a poultry house 
clean-out business.
  Eric grew up around poultry farming and by the age of 12 had decided 
chicken houses wouldn't be in his future. That changed when he bought 
his first poultry farm in Cleburne County at the age of 20. Eric and 
Carrly met in 2008 at a University of Georgia football game and were 
married in 2011. Carrly works at Georgia Power Company.
  The Lovvorns love farming and want their children to know how 
important farming is. Eric serves as the Cleburne County Young Farmers 
chairman and participated in the Agricultural Leaders for Alabama 
program.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Alabama Outstanding 
Young Farm Family for 2017: Eric, Carrly, Chole and Landon Lovvorn.
