                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

               CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CALDWELL COUNTY FFA

  Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and 
congratulate the Caldwell County High School Future Farmers of America, 
FFA, chapter.
  The Caldwell chapter has been selected as one of 10 finalists in the 
country for student development and will compete to be one of three top 
Models of Innovation at the 75th National FFA Convention in Louisville, 
KY.
  Across the Nation, FFA chapters are rated according to a star system. 
The Caldwell High School FFA chapter was one of only 103 FFA chapters 
across the entire United States to receive the highest rating of three 
stars. This was the first time this chapter ever achieved a three star 
rating.
  All 122 FFA students at Caldwell County High School deserve special 
recognition for their hard work and innovative spirit. The agricultural 
industry today needs and deserves folks like the ones at Caldwell 
County High School. I am confident that this group of young men and 
women will help further transform the agricultural industry and take 
innovation to a new level.
