  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Marketing and 
Communications Department for receiving five prestigious awards at the 
American Farm Bureau Federation's annual Strategic Policy, Advocacy, 
Resources and Communications Conference.
  Each year the American Farm Bureau Federation gives out awards at 
their Strategic Policy, Advocacy, Resources and Communications 
Conference to recognize select Farm Bureau Federation teams that excel 
in their outreach and communication to the public. The conference is 
designed to incentivize strategic communication, aligning the 
organization's platforms around important subjects and initiatives that 
are aimed at creating better policy. The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation 
team received the following five awards: Best Newspaper, Best News or 
Feature Series, Best Blog, Best Social Media Campaign, and Best 
Promotional or Education Video.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation 
Marketing and Communications Department demonstrates the rewards of 
hard work and dedication. Their efforts embody the Iowa sprit and I am 
honored to represent this valued Iowa organization in the United States 
Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives will join me in congratulating this team on their 
achievements, and I wish them nothing but continued success.
