                    TRIBUTE TO THE HUNEYCUTT FAMILY

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam President, I rise today to congratulate the 
Huneycutt family for earning the distinction of Arkansas Farm Family of 
the year.
  This honor reflects the dedication of brothers Ted and Steve 
Huneycutt to farming and the important role they play in Arkansas' No. 
1 industry. Ted and his wife Cindy have four children: Sara, Trey, 
Luke, and Greyson. Steve and his wife Leanne also have four children: 
Josh, Jessica, Ashley, and Logan. The family has been farming in Clark 
County since 1882.
  On their 4,000-acre farm, the Huneycutts raise cattle and grow 
cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans, and hay. They also operate the Barn at 
Richwoods and Benchmark Ag, a risk management service providing 
producers with cash sale recommendations along with commodity futures, 
options and crop insurance. The Huneycutts are in the process of 
launching Ouachita Valley Meat Company, which will provide producers 
the products and processing capabilities to sell their own products.
  The family is committed not only to farming and producing safe 
supplies of food and fiber to the world, but also to serving their 
community by lending their time and skills to numerous boards and 
committees.
  The Arkansas Farm Bureau's program honors farm families across the 
State for their outstanding work on their farms and their positive 
impact and work on behalf of their neighbors. This recognition is a 
reflection of their contributions to agriculture at the local and State 
level and its implications for improved farm practices and management. 
The Huneycutts are well-deserving of this honor, and I wish them luck 
as they compete in the Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year 
program next year.
  I congratulate Ted, Steve, Cindy, Leanne, and their children on their 
exceptional achievements in agriculture and ask my colleagues to join 
me in honoring them for this accomplishment. I wish them continued 
success in their future endeavors and look forward to the contributions 
they will continue to offer Arkansas farming and agriculture.
