HONORING DALE MURDEN, 2024 TEXAS FARM BUREAU PIONEER AWARD WINNER

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 189 (Thursday, December 19, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 189 (Thursday, December 19, 2024)] [House] [Page H7364] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING DALE MURDEN, 2024 TEXAS FARM BUREAU PIONEER AWARD WINNER (Ms. De La CRUZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. De La CRUZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dale Murden, a dedicated leader in south Texas agriculture, for winning the 2024 Texas Farm Bureau Pioneer Award. As president of the Texas Citrus Mutual, Dale is a steadfast advocate for the State of Texas' citrus industry, championing legislative priorities such as the 1944 water treaty issue, pest and disease management, and leading innovation that strengthens our agricultural community. Dale's work supports thousands of farmers and helps preserve the rich farming heritage of south Texas. On behalf of the 15th Congressional District of Texas, I congratulate Dale on this well-deserved recognition, and I thank him for his service to our farmers and to the great State of Texas. ____________________
