                  RECOGNIZING NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DAY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise on National 
Agriculture Day to honor all farmers, farmworkers, ranchers, fishers, 
foresters, and agriculture workers, all who feed and clothe the 
American people and those beyond. Our Nation counts on you, and you 
deliver every single day.
  Mr. Speaker, may I add that there is nothing more exciting than 
seeing the iconic blue jacket and FFA emblem and, of course, a young 
person wearing it who is interested in agriculture. I can attest 
firsthand to the talent, passion, and dedication of our young 
agriculture leaders, who are indeed the lifeline.
  In North Carolina, agriculture is our leading industry and, in the 
east, a big part of our heritage and way of life. Agriculture plays a 
crucial role in shaping the future of our region.
  There is no better time than now to recognize the significance of our 
agriculture community as we continue cultivating our agriculture 
leaders of tomorrow.
