MYRICK\n\n Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, just before the sine die\nadjournment, the Alabama Business Hall of Fame at the University of\nAlabama announced that Goodwyn L. Myrick, the president and chief\nexecutive of the Alabama Farmers Federation and Alfa Insurance Co.,\nwould be inducted into the Alabama Business Hall of Fame.\n  Goodwyn is a native of Etowah County, AL, where he was born in 1925.\nHe established his first dairy herd in 1944 with eight cows. Today, M &\nH Farms--a partnership between Goodwyn, his son, Greg, his daughter,\nDonna, and son-in-law, Tony Haynes--has over 400 Holstein dairy cows\nand 700 head of beef cattle. It encompasses two farms and more than\n2,000 acres.\n  In 1978, he was elected president of the Alabama Farmers Federation,\nand is currently serving his ninth term as president of the federation\nand Alfa Insurance Co. During his tenure, Alfa has had the greatest\namount of storm losses and the greatest amount of growth in its\nhistory, with $267 million in losses since 1978. At the same time, it\nhas grown by 1,000 percent. The Alabama Farmers Federation has seen its\nmembership grow from 223,000 in 1980 to nearly 400,000 today.\n  Goodwyn's previous positions include president of the Etowah County\nFarm Bureau Federation; the board of directors of the Alabama Farm\nBureau Federation--predecessor organization to the Alabama Farmers\nFederation; and vice president of the federation.\n  Considered one of the most influential businessmen in the State,\nGoodwyn joins the ranks of over 100 other distinguished corporate\nleaders in the Alabama Business Hall of Fame. These previous inductees\ninclude George Washington Carver, Winton ``Red'' Blount, and Aaron\nAronov.\n  I am pleased to commend and congratulate Goodwyn Myrick for receiving\nthis most-deserved honor. The agricultural community of Alabama has\nnever had such a strong leader and loyal friend.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1996-10-21-pt1-PgS12456"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 38.43487612903118, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
