                      Wednesday, December 16, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Zack Peppmeier, of Shannon City, Iowa for earning the 
American FFA Degree. Zack was recently awarded this degree at the 
National FFA Convention and Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 
31.
  The American FFA Degree is awarded to members who have demonstrated 
the highest level of commitment to FFA and made significant 
accomplishments in their supervised agricultural experience. Zack had 
to meet certain requirements, such as studying agriculture for three 
years in high school, earning money in an agriculture field and 
investing that money into their business, as well as participating in 
community service and having a record of outstanding leadership ability 
and community involvement. Overall, Zack spent four years working 
towards and meeting these requirements, and his hard work and years of 
dedication has paid off.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Zack in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize him 
today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating him on receiving this 
esteemed designation, and in wishing him the best of luck in all his 
future endeavors.
