  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the accomplishments of a 
Kentucky native, Aitkin Buckler, who will be the first inductee to the 
Bath County Agriculture Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Buckler was a lifelong tobacco and beef cattle farmer in Bath 
County, and was an agriculture leader in the community. He served as 
President and Vice President of the Bath County Farm Bureau Board, as 
well as President of the Bath County Cattleman's Board, and was an 
active member of both organizations for over 20 years. Additionally, 
Mr. Buckler volunteered on the Bath County Soil Conservation Board for 
20 years while serving as vice-chair for seven years. Mr. Buckler 
recently passed away, but his contributions to Bath County remain.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in expressing our 
condolences to Mr. Buckler's family for their loss, but also join them 
in the celebration of a life well lived. I would also like to extend my 
personal gratitude to Mr. Buckler for all that he did to better our 
community and our Commonwealth.
