                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 15, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and congratulate 
Curtis and Brenda Meier of Clarinda, Iowa, for receiving the Gary 
Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award. The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor award is 
named for Gary Wergin, a long-time WHO Radio farm broadcaster who 
helped establish the award.
  The Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award is made possible by the financial 
support of the Coalition to Support Iowa's Farmers. The award 
recognizes farmers who contribute their time and talents to their 
community, including caring for the environment and being good 
neighbors.
  Curtis and Brenda are active in their community and their church. 
Curtis is a commissioner with the Page County Soil and Water 
Conservation District and serves on the County Fair Board. The Meiers 
run their local diversified farm with a number of their family members, 
including their son, daughter, and their families.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Curtis and Brenda for earning 
this award. They are shining examples of how hard work and dedication 
can be a benefit to a whole community I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Curtis 
and Brenda for their accomplishments and in wishing them nothing but 
continued success.
