He was honored by Practical Farmers of Iowa with the 2018 Sustainable Agriculture Achievement Award at their annual conference in January. This award is granted annually to someone who has shown dedication to sustainable agriculture, helped by sharing their knowledge and work toward making communities, farms, and food healthy and diverse. Earl farms with his son at Early Morning Harvest and Hafner, Inc. It is a 2000 acre diversified farm that includes certified organic row crops and grass-fed cattle and hogs. They also raise tilapia in an aquaponics greenhouse. Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Earl Hafner for this award and for working diligently in the Third Congressional district to make his community a better place to live and work. I am proud to represent him in the United States Congress and I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Earl and in wishing him nothing but continued success. ____________________
