  Mr. GARDNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Rex Davis, from 
Lamar, Colorado.

participated in the Environmental Quality Incentive Program and the 
Conservation Stewardship Program since 2007.
  Throughout the years Mr. Davis has introduced efficient and 
sustainable practices to improve his irrigation management which will 
make his farm operation viable for years to come.
  His conservation practices have included gated pipeline, water 
control structure, irrigation system sprinkler, irrigation reservoir, 
pest management and nutrient management.
  In addition to his farm operations, Mr. Davis raises Black Angus 
cattle, is a member of the Lamar Elks and is currently working on his 
second passion by training for his private pilot's license.
  I am pleased to recognize Rex Davis as the 2013 Prowers County 
Conservationist of the Year.
