  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Larry Carter for 
his induction into the 2003 Stanislaus County Ag Center Foundation Ag 
Hall of Fame. On December 4th, he will be honored at the 2003 Ag Hall 
of Fame Dinner at the Stanislaus County Ag Center in California.
  The Stanislaus Ag Center Foundation honors individuals who work to 
make agriculture Stanislaus County's number-one industry. Mr. Carter's 
contributions to agriculture and his community have helped agriculture 
in the county achieve this status. After receiving his Bachelor of 
Science in Animal Husbandry from California Polytechnic University in 
1952, Larry served in the United States Navy for 4 years. Between 1963 
and 1972, he ran his own laying hen ranch. For the following 15 years, 
he served as Executive Manager of the Stanislaus County Farm Bureau 
while farming 25 acres of almonds. Since 1987, Mr. Carter has worked 
for Stanislaus Farm Supply.
  Larry's dedication to the community and agriculture organizations has 
been evident through his work as a volunteer. He has worked with the 
Denair Lions Club, Hughson 4-H, Modesto Chamber of Commerce, Stanislaus 
County Jail Site Committee, Stanislaus Ag Foundation, and many others.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Larry Carter for his 
induction into the 2003 Stanislaus County Ag Center Foundation Ag Hall 
of Fame. I invite my colleagues to join me in thanking Larry for his 
dedication and hard work.
