                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 7, 2017

  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Cottondale 
Future Farmers of America Agricultural Communications Team for 
representing the Second District of Florida at both the state and 
national FFA competitions. The Cottondale team--Caleb Reed, Laramie 
Pooser, Carl Young, and Kasey Lathan, along with their advisor, Stan 
Scurlock, placed first in the state competition and 11th nationally, 
where they were recognized as a National FFA Gold Team.
  These bright students were tasked with creating and implementing a 
campaign to recognize a member of their local FFA chapter through 
webpage design, opinion writing, video production, and more. Their 
devotion to learning about the agricultural communications industry is 
inspiring.
  Agriculture is vital to the economy and livelihood of North Florida 
and I am confident the industry will continue to thrive with dedicated 
students like Caleb, Laramie, Carl, and Kasey leading the way.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Cottondale Future 
Farmers of America Agricultural Communications Team and wish them luck 
in their future endeavors.

                          ____________________
