                        Friday, October 9, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Brownlee Family of Macksburg, Iowa, for being selected 
to receive the Iowa Farm Environmental Leaders Award. Receiving this 
award was Glenda, Dan, Megan, Kevin, and Alex Brownlee.
  Presented by the Governor, Lt. Governor, Iowa Department of 
Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and Iowa Department of Natural 
Resources, this prestigious Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award is a 
joint effort to recognize the exceptional voluntary efforts of Iowa 
farmers to preserve and protect the environment of our state.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by the Brownlee Family is a commendable 
one. Their willingness to dedicate themselves to great stewardship of 
their land is an example that should be followed by all Iowans. I am 
proud to represent them and Iowans like them in the United States 
Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives will join me in congratulating the Brownlee's for 
their achievements and wish them nothing but continued success.
