  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lundberg Family 
Farms on the celebration of its 80th anniversary.
   Since its founding in 1937 by Albert and Frances Lundberg, the rice-
growing company has expanded substantially, now producing 18 different 
varieties of rice and many other rice products. Lundberg has become a 
national leader in the marketplace, and is growing quickly 
internationally.
   This third-generation family business has strengthened our region's 
vibrant agricultural sector and created jobs throughout the Sacramento 
Valley. Even through substantial growth, Lundberg has continued using 
sustainable practices, ensuring that generations to come can further 
its rich farming tradition.
   On behalf of the people of California's Third District, I 
congratulate Lundberg Family Farms on its 80th anniversary, and I know 
that our entire region joins me in wishing them continued success in 
the years ahead.
