                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 6, 2023

  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize constituents 
of Alabama's Second Congressional District and their participation in 
the 2023 Farm and Land Exposition hosted in Mobile, Alabama on August 
10-13, 2023 by the Alabama Farmers Federation.
  My constituents, Daniel Free of Elmore County, Sarah Temple of 
Houston County,

Gracie Woodall of Houston County, and Caleb Connor of Montgomery 
County, participated in the discussion meet competition. Will Kirkland 
of Henry County and Nathan Parker of Houston County participated in the 
Excellence in Agriculture competition.
  While remaining good stewards of their land, these folks have also 
been gracious neighbors by extending their knowledge and expertise to 
others. The evident dedication to agricultural production by these 
young producers and families makes me hopeful for the industry's 
future.
  These young farmers have embodied exactly what it means to have a 
servant's heart while taking care of their land and their communities. 
1 Peter 4:10 says, ``As every man hath received the gift, even so 
minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold 
grace of God.'' The Second Congressional District of Alabama is 
fortunate to have outstanding individuals like them.
  I would like to recognize these young producers for their 
participation in this year's young farmer competitions and their 
dedication to production agriculture in Alabama's Second Congressional 
District. The farmers and producers in Alabama's Second Congressional 
District have created a remarkable legacy of feeding and supporting 
citizens across the great state of Alabama and the Nation.
