Recognizing Garrett Stanfield

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Garrett Stanfield.

Garrett is from Manchester, Ohio, and won the Young Cattleman of the Year Award at the Ohio Cattlemen's Association annual meeting and awards banquet this past February. This award recognizes individuals or couples who show leadership and have been successful in the beef operation industry.

Garrett has demonstrated this through his graduation from the Ohio State University's animal science program and his work to effectively use genetic and reproductive science on the farm. Garrett is a lifelong cattleman. He was raised on Stanfield Farms, which has been operated for generations by the Stanfield family in southern Ohio.

America's cattlemen, farmers, and ranchers are the backbone of our country. It is a great honor to advocate for them in Congress, and it is my sincere hope that we can pass a full farm bill on their behalf.

Currently working with Trans Ova Genetics on innovative breeding processes, Garrett will participate in the upcoming National Cattlemen's Beef Association's Young Cattlemen's Conference as the representative from Ohio Cattlemen's Association.

Madam Speaker, Ohio is so proud of Garrett and thankful for all that he does and that his fellow farmers do for America.
