                 RECOGNIZING NATIONAL AGRICULTURE WEEK

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of National 
Agriculture Week. In my home State of Georgia and in Georgia's 12th 
District, who I represent, agriculture remains our number one industry.
  During this special week and every week, I recognize and celebrate 
the farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers who keep America 
strong, clothed, and fed. Their hard work, innovation, and dedication 
helps to sustain our community and provide the food and fiber that we 
rely on every day.
  As the son of a farmer and having grown up on our family farm in 
Columbia County, I know how important it is to ensure that future 
generations can pick up that mantle and become agricultural leaders.
  That is why, in the Working Families Tax Cut Act, House Republicans 
included a provision that saved over 6,000 family-owned farms in 
Georgia-12 from an increased death tax. This means more farms stay in 
the hands of Georgia farmers and not the Federal Government.
  This week, let's take a moment to thank those who work in acres and 
not hours.
  Happy National Agriculture Week.
