                     IN RECOGNITION OF RODNEY KROPF

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 12, 2019

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ozark 
Organic Feeds and founder Rodney Kropf for the completion of their new 
$13 million expansion project. Rodney was able to use savings from the 
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to expand his feed operation, investing an 
additional $10 million into the new project.
  As a poultry farmer for over 36 years, Rodney knows a thing or two 
about hard work. Ozark Organic Feeds was incorporated in Dallas County 
a little more than a decade ago. Today the new 10,000 square foot 
facility includes four storage bins that hold over 700,000 bushels of 
grain.
  Ozark Organic Feeds uses state-of-the-art technology to produce 
precision organic animal feed blends for 2.5 million hens throughout 
the United States. Output from their new plant operations is now 
yielding 2,400 tons of grain a week, enough to fill 100 to 110 semi-
trucks.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Rodney Kropf for his hard work and hope 
my colleagues will recognize that tax cuts lead to economic growth.
