  Mr. GUTKNECHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Norm 
Sieling of Lake Crystal, Minnesota, on his induction into the Minnesota 
Future Farmers of America Hall of Fame.
  The Minnesota Future Farmers of America strives to make a positive 
difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for 
premier leadership, personal growth and career success through 
agricultural education. By maintaining the ideals of the past and 
incorporating the ideas of the future, the Minnesota Future Farmers of 
America continually seeks new, innovative ways to join agriculture and 
education with today's world of technology. The Hall of Fame is an 
honor reserved for those alumni who are a living example of this 
mission.
  For his commitment to these ideals, Mr. Norm Sieling was inducted 
into Minnesota FFA Hall of Fame. As an agriculture teacher for 39 years 
in Lake Crystal, Minnesota, and a mentor for new agriculture teachers 
at the University of Minnesota, Mr. Sieling has demonstrated his 
dedication to the future of agriculture. He has helped students to 
achieve their goals, while encouraging the expansion of the 
agricultural industry.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Sieling on receiving this 
achievement. His dedicated service to the young farmers of Minnesota 
and the agricultural community is greatly appreciated.
