                      Tuesday, September 28, 1999

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Tony and Fermin 
Campos for making Campos Bros. Farms into a worldwide operation. Campos 
Bros. Farms provide almonds of tremendous quality, guided by 
traditional values of dedication, integrity and personal attention.
  Campos Bros. Farms is located in the heart of California's fertile 
San Joaquin Valley, in the small farming village of Caruthers. Fermin 
and Tony Campos moved to Caruthers from Spain in 1955. Almond growers 
the world over know of its almond paradise.
  Campos Bros. Farms maintains strict standards for each almond's color 
and size, and any defects are effectively removed. The Campos Bros. 
maintain their own testing facility for yeast, mold, aflatoxin and 
other quality issues affecting the international sale of their almonds. 
Campos Bros. Farms exceed every standard established by the United 
States and California Departments of Food and Agriculture, and has been 
recognized for its excellence in technical quality control.
  Quality almonds are the result of ideal growing conditions, timely 
harvest and careful handling. From the front office to their state-of-
the-art almond processing facility, Campos Bros. Farms is a family-run 
business that's clean, orderly and organized. Campos Bros. Farms takes 
great pride in the fact that it has never missed a shipment, or even 
been late with one.
  Campos Bros. Farms has been an active supporter of Big Brothers, Big 
Sisters of Fresno, Boys Town of Italy, Central Valley Public Television 
and the surrounding elementary and high schools.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Tony and Fermin Campos, the founders 
of Campos Bros. Farms, for their outstanding service to the community 
with quality almonds. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Campos 
Bros. Farms many more years of continued success.
