Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a truly remarkable family from the Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas. The Alston family from Mena was recently named Arkansas Farm Family of the Year. The Holly Springs Homestead, run by Luke and Deedee Alston, is a diverse farm of Angus cattle, chicken houses, and a large variety of fruits and vegetables grown at its location in Polk County. Not only is the family--which includes sons Ryan and Drey--active in traditional farming, but the Alstons are also a leader in Arkansas agritourism, with a variety of crops bringing families to the Holly Springs Homestead. Their work supports the Polk County economy and brings pride to their friends and neighbors. I send my congratulations to the Alston family on this prestigious honor, as well as all the county farm family winners across Arkansas. ____________________
