    CONGRATULATING THE COOPERS, BOONE COUNTY FARM FAMILY OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 10, 2010

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Cooper 
Family who was earned the honor of being named the Boone County 2010 
Farm Family of the Year.
  The Arkansas Farm Family of the Year Program has honored farm 
families all across the state for their outstanding work both on their 
farms and in their communities. Recognition from the program is a 
reflection of the contribution to agriculture at the community and 
state level and its implications for improved farm practices and 
management.
  The Coopers raise more than 700 cattle on 450 acres and are planning 
to expand. Since 1985 they have maintained a commitment to agriculture 
and have worked diligently to improve the health of their cattle and to 
protect the environment.
  I congratulate Tim, his wife Debra Sue, and their family Caleb, Ethan 
and Amy Lippe for their outstanding achievements in agriculture and ask 
my fellow colleagues to join me in honoring them for this 
accomplishment. I wish them continued success in their future endeavors 
and look forward to the contributions they will offer in the future to 
Arkansas agriculture.

                          ____________________
