         NEVADA FAA 2015 WORLD CHAMPION LIVESTOCK JUDGING TEAM

  (Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give honor to Payton 
Dahmer, Kaylee Farmer, Cara Comstock, and Skyler Scotten for earning 
the title of the 2015 World Championship FFA Livestock Judging Team.
  These members of the Nevada FAA chapter, along with their coach, 
Tanya St. John, practiced for countless hours, traveling all across the 
State and Nation to evaluate the quality of classes of cattle, swine, 
sheep, and goats as well as demonstrate the reasoning behind their 
placements in the oral presentation.
  At the national competition, the team placed first overall, with all 
four competitors placing in the top ten individually. Winning nationals 
qualified them for the International Livestock Judging Competition in 
Scotland, where they again placed first in the team judging event.
  While it was a long and challenging journey to earn this title, I 
would like to commend the 2015 World Champion FFA Livestock Judging 
Team for their dedication, perseverance, and poise they displayed in 
this competition. I am proud of how they represented themselves, their 
families, and our country.
  I want to congratulate Payton, Kaylee, Cara, and Skyler for this 
amazing achievement. You are the future agriculture leaders this 
country needs.
