                       Wednesday, March 16, 2022

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Mr. Armond Morris of Irwin County for his retirement as 
Chairman of the Georgia Peanut Commission.
  While farming for over 50 years, Armond has advocated for the peanuty 
industry and farmers nationally and internationally. He served with the 
Georgia Peanut Commission for more than four decades and was chairman 
for 20 years. During his service, he led efforts to ensure that the 
U.S. peanut industry remained competitive against imports, worked 
toward improving federal policies, and fought off regulation and 
disease that would've been harmful to the industry. His outstanding 
dedication to our nation's peanut industry prioritized U.S. peanuts and 
grew the industry domestically.
  As a senior member of the House Agriculture Committee, I am honored 
to represent outstanding farmers such as Armond. It is individuals like 
him that make Georgia, and America, great.
