                             JOHN HENDRICKS

 Mr. BUNNING. Madam President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to Mr. John Hendricks from Clark County, who was chosen as one 
of the 10 national winners of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk 
Management Agency's sponsored writing contest for Future Farmers of 
America members.
  Mr. Hendricks was chosen from 140 entries from across the Nation. 
Contestants were required to write a 1,000-word essay on ``Risk 
Management For Setting Your Supervised Agricultural Experience 
Program.'' Mr. Hendricks has shown a commitment to excellence deserving 
of such a distinguished honor. Mr. Hendrick's essay is a shinning 
example of what you can achieve if you work hard and pursue your goals. 
His example should be followed by students across Kentucky.
  This young man has demonstrated his amazing comprehension of risk 
management principles and application of various risk management tools 
and strategies in his essays. I am proud of this young man's dedication 
to Kentucky agriculture, the Future Farmers of America, and his goals 
for educational excellence. The citizens from Clark County are 
fortunate to call John Hendricks one of their own. I also want to 
congratulate his advisor, along with his peers, faculty, 
administrators, and family for their support and sacrifices they've 
made to help him meet this achievement and make his dreams a 
reality.
