                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 3, 2015

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Harold Griffith 
on being selected for induction into the Farm Credit Colorado 
Agriculture Hall of Fame. This honor is reserved for those who have 
made a significant contribution to the agricultural industry of 
Colorado and the United States.
  Currently, Mr. Griffith resides in Fort Morgan where he has been a 
leader in the dairy industry. He has been a pioneer by developing 
programs through the Dairy Catch It Program, which helps youth pursue 
careers in agriculture. Mr. Griffith clearly understands the importance 
of giving back to his community.
  In addition, Mr. Griffith has extensive knowledge of Colorado water 
rights. This ultimately led to him being asked to serve on Governor 
Ritter's Water Task Force. Griffith has shown true leadership in his 
industry and community.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I extend my 
best wishes as Mr. Griffith pursues his future endeavors. His passion 
and dedication to the agricultural industry makes him more than worthy 
of this distinct recognition. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize 
Mr. Harold Griffith for his accomplishments.
