SANDHILL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION CENTER
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, each August, I participate
in a bus tour of South Carolina's Second Congressional District with my
wife, Roxanne, and dedicated staff from the Washington and district
offices.
This year, the tour took us to the Clemson University Sandhill
Research and Education Center in Columbia. The Sandhill Research and
Education Center plays a vital role in the growth of statewide
agribusiness.
We were welcomed by long-time friend, Director Kathy Coleman.
During the visit, we heard updates from faculty members Cory Heaton,
Adam Kantrovich, and Nathan Smith on their research in agribusiness
programming, which promotes President Donald Trump's policies of farm
exports.
We learned from farm manager Cody Bishop of the incubator program,
which provides small plots for startup farmers to begin growing their
business.
The visit was jointly hosted with the South Carolina Farm Bureau. We
were welcomed by David Wilson, Gary Spires, and Charles Wingard.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
