                     RECOGNIZING DREW AND LIZ WHITE

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. 
Drew and Liz White of Union County, Kentucky, for recently being named 
Kentucky Farm Bureau's 2018 Outstanding Young Farm Family. This award 
recognizes young farmers between the ages of 18 and 35 who have shown 
strong leadership potential and farm management skills and have 
achieved consistent financial success in their farming operations.
  Drew and Liz come from families with rich histories in farming. Drew 
is the fourth generation to live and work on his family's farm, 
established by his great-grandfather during the Great Depression. Under 
Drew's management, the farm has grown and experienced success with 
raising cattle and a multitude of crops.
  Liz also grew up on a family farm and enjoyed showing saddlebred 
horses during her youth. She worked at a local winery throughout her 
high school and college years before becoming an occupational therapy 
assistant.
  The couple have both been extensively involved in the local 
agricultural community through the Future Farmers of America 
organization, the 4-H, and the Kentucky Farm Bureau. Their efforts have 
not only benefited Union County, but are a model for other young 
farmers throughout the Commonwealth.
  On behalf of the First District of Kentucky, I congratulate Drew and 
Liz White on their outstanding success and wish them the best as they 
continue to grow their farming operation and their family.
