“Frank Scott, a ninth- generation farmer, was proudly honored as our State's Young Farmer of the Year. His family takes great pride in producing tobacco, sweet potatoes, cotton, soybeans, and sweet onions. Together with his dedicated wife, Rebecca, and two children, Elijah and Lizzie, Frank tirelessly manages their family farm, exemplifying resilience and unwavering dedication. Recently, Frank shared with me the enormous weight on his shoulders of holding on to his family's farm and one day turning it over to his children, our next generation. I had the pleasure of speaking with his lively son, Elijah. He can hardly wait to assist his dad on the farm, and I am prayerful that, one day, I am able to call him a 10th-generation farmer. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Frank and his entire family on this well- deserved recognition. Their story not only uplifts their family, but also is an inspiration for all people across America. ____________________”
