COMMENDING ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY FOR HOSTING 25TH ANNUAL COLLEGE OF 
                  AGRICULTURE AGRIBUSINESS CONFERENCE

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend my alma mater, 
Arkansas State University, for hosting the 25th Annual College of 
Agriculture Agribusiness Conference. This conference focuses on farm 
management, commodity and credit markets, and the economics and 
politics of trade and farm policy.
  During this conference, Chancellor Damphousse announced a $1 million 
gift for the College of Agriculture from the Judd Hill Foundation.
  Farmers and those involved in the agriculture industry throughout 
Arkansas attend this meeting each year to learn about important 
deadlines and challenges that producers will encounter this growing 
season from a diverse group of speakers. This year, speakers included 
Tyne Morgan, host of U.S. Farm Report, as well as two of my past 
interns, Hunter Biram and Grant Wilson.
  Instrumental to this conference's continued success has been Dr. 
Greenwalt, conference director and cofounder. Dr. Greenwalt, professor 
of agricultural economics at Arkansas State, also serves as a director 
of the Arkansas Agricultural Council. I had the pleasure of being one 
of Dr. Greenwalt's students while pursuing my degree in agricultural 
business at Arkansas State University.
  Many others come to support this annual event. As the event grows, so 
does the attendance.
  I would like to extend my congratulations and gratitude to Dr. 
Greenwalt, Dean Burcham, and everyone who contributed to the success of 
the ASU Agribusiness Conference for the last 25 years.
