           RECOGNIZING FRANK SCOTT, YOUNG FARMER OF THE YEAR

  (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, Frank Scott, a ninth-
generation farmer, was proudly honored as our State's Young Farmer of 
the Year. His family takes great pride in producing tobacco, sweet 
potatoes, cotton, soybeans, and sweet onions.
  Together with his dedicated wife, Rebecca, and two children, Elijah 
and Lizzie, Frank tirelessly manages their family farm, exemplifying 
resilience and unwavering dedication.
  Recently, Frank shared with me the enormous weight on his shoulders 
of holding on to his family's farm and one day turning it over to his 
children, our next generation.
  I had the pleasure of speaking with his lively son, Elijah. He can 
hardly wait to assist his dad on the farm, and I am prayerful that, one 
day, I am able to call him a 10th-generation farmer.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Frank and his entire family on this well-
deserved recognition. Their story not only uplifts their family, but 
also is an inspiration for all people across America.
