  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Kelcey Swyers on 
being selected as the 2016 Rising Star in Colorado Agriculture. This 
honor is reserved for those who have made a significant contribution to 
the agricultural industry of Colorado and the United States.
  Dr. Swyers has an extensive background in Colorado agriculture. She 
received a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and Agricultural 
Business from Colorado State University, where she also worked two 
internships that taught her about the feed and nutrition industry. She 
later went on to receive a Master of Science in Equine/Monogastric 
nutrition at the University of Maryland. She then returned to Colorado 
where she received her Doctorate in Ruminant Nutrition.
  In addition, Dr. Swyers started Grassland Nutrition Consulting where 
she offers nutritional work for cow-calf, feed yard, and equine among 
other services. Dr. Swyers has shown true leadership in her industry 
and community.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I extend my 
best wishes as Dr. Swyers pursues her future endeavors. Her passion and 
dedication to the agricultural industry makes her more than worthy of 
this distinct recognition. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Dr. 
Kelcey Swyers for her accomplishments.
