  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Tucker Sager of Atlantic, Iowa, for receiving the American 
Future Farmers of America Degree Award. The American Future Farmers of 
America Degree is the highest honor a FFA member can achieve.
  From October 28th through October 31st the FFA held their annual 
National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. It was then that Tucker 
was awarded the American FFA Degree for his abilities and outstanding 
achievements in agriculture business, production, processing and 
service programs. Tucker has always had an interest in agriculture, and 
his passion has only been reinforced through his work as a farm hand.
  Eligibility requirements for this prestigious FFA award include: 
earning at least $10,000

and productively investing $7,500 through a supervised agriculture 
experience program or working in an existing agriculturally-focused 
position, completing 50 hours of community service, as well as 
demonstrating outstanding leadership abilities. Tucker met and exceeded 
each of these requirements through his dedication to the organization 
and the agriculture community.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Tucker for earning this 
award. He is a shining example of how hard work, determination, and 
dedication can help you achieve your goals. I am honored to recognize 
him today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Tucker for his 
accomplishments and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
