  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Daniel and Carla Trantham and their children, Davis, Sadie, Anna Kate, 
Sawyer and Callie for being named Alabama's Outstanding Young Farm 
Family.
  The Tranthams are row crop and cattle farmers who run their own feed 
operation. They bag and sell over 80 tons of feed and grain on a weekly 
basis at their storefront in Alexandria and through feed stores.
  The Trantham family also sells wheat straw and Bermudagrass hay while 
improving yields on 1,000 acres of corn, wheat, soybeans and cotton 
through irrigation and seed selection. Since 2010, Daniel has more than 
doubled grain storage and tripled his cattle herd.
  The family also operates a trucking company where Carla manages 
payroll.
  The Tranthams are members of Leatherwood Baptist Church. Daniel is 
the local Young Farmers chair and serves on the Alabama Farmers 
Federation State Soybean Committee. Carla serves on the local Women's 
Leadership Committee.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this young family on 
this great honor. Congratulations to the Tranthams.
