I proudly rise before you today in honor of National FFA Week. As an eighth-generation farmer and former member of the Future Farmers of America myself, I have seen firsthand the positive difference that FFA makes in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success throughout agricultural education. FFA members know that American agriculture truly is one of the best traditions of our national life and that service to one's community is a pillar of good leadership and citizenship. I am confident that the future of our Nation's agriculture is in good hands because it is being shaped by members of the National FFA Organization. I wish a happy FFA Week to the 28,000 members in my home State of Tennessee and to the 760,000 members across the country. ____________________
