            TRIBUTE TO THE TRIUMPH OF AGRICULTURE EXPOSITION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 15, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of the 
Midwest's premier indoor farm events, the 47th Annual Triumph of 
Agriculture Exposition.
  The 47th Annual Triumph of Agriculture Exposition, or Ag Expo, will 
be held this coming March 6 and 7 at the CenturyLink Center in 
neighboring Omaha, Nebraska--mere miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The 
Triumph of Ag Expo is regarded as one of the country's largest indoor 
short-line farm machinery shows and remains the ideal opportunity to 
see new short-line farm equipment, products, and techniques under one 
roof.
  Mr. Speaker, the work ethic of Iowa's farmers and the value that it 
provides to our nation cannot be overstated. It is a great honor to 
represent fine farmers and farming communities in the state of Iowa in 
the United States Congress. I commend the efforts of the Mid-America 
Farm and Ranch Machinery Council for sponsoring this year's Ag Expo, 
and I invite my colleagues in the House to join me in wishing all of 
our farmers a successful and plentiful harvest in 2013.
