  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nick and Sue Hunt of Atlantic, Iowa, for receiving the 
2015 Conservationist of the Year Award, presented by the Cass County 
Soil and Water Conservation District. This award is a joint effort of 
the Governor's Office, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land 
Stewardship, and the Department of Natural Resources.
  The Conservationist of the Year Award recognizes the exemplary 
voluntary actions of farmers who work to improve and protect the 
environment and natural resources of our state. Nick and Sue were 
selected for this award because of their outstanding work in their 
farming operations and for serving as local leaders in environmental 
stewardship on their farm, utilizing a variety of techniques and best 
management practices. Their efforts have helped improve and protect the 
environment in the State of Iowa.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Nick and Sue for earning this 
award. They are shining examples of how hard work and dedication to 
conservation can benefit their property and the environment around them 
for years to come. I know my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating them for this 
outstanding achievement and wishing them nothing but continued success.
