                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 25, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brenna Westergaard for earning an American FFA Degree. 
Brenna was recently awarded at the National FFA Convention and Expo in 
Louisville, Kentucky on October 31, 2015. She was a member of the 
Adair-Casey FFA Organization and is the daughter of Lori Westergaard 
and Kevin Westergaard.
  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. Brenna 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 her business, participation in community 
service and having a record of outstanding leadership ability and 
community involvement.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Brenna in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize and 
applaud her for utilizing her talents to reach her goals. I ask that my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating her on receiving this esteemed designation, and wishing 
her nothing but the best of luck in the future.

                          ____________________
