                  CONGRATULATING LYNETTA USHER GRINER

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Lynetta Usher 
Griner, an outstanding community leader and a friend, on being named 
the 2018 Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Ag Expo Florida Farmer of the Year.
  Lynetta is a timber and beef cattle producer who operates a large, 
successful agricultural business in north Florida. Her operation is a 
model for success and sustainability, and she has been recognized on 
many occasions for her effective natural resource conservation.
  Lynetta's businesses have received the Florida Audubon Sustainable 
Forestry Award, the Florida Farm Bureau's CARES Award, and the Logger 
of the Year Award from the Florida Forestry Association.
  Aside from her dedication to the timber and beef industry, Lynetta is 
an outstanding community leader. She has served on the Suwannee River 
Water Management District's governing board for over 14 years and was 
named the first female president of the Florida Forestry Association.
  Additionally, Lynetta regularly advocates for good and effective farm 
policies at both the local and national levels.
  It is my greatest honor to represent Floridians like Lynetta in the 
United States Congress. Her selfless leadership and dedication to her 
industry and community are admirable.
  Congratulations again, Ms. Lynetta Usher Griner.
