                         Friday, April 29, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Haley Carlson of Atlantic, Iowa, for receiving the highest 
Future Farmer of America (FFA) Award, the Iowa Farmer Degree Award. 
Haley is a member of the Atlantic Future Farmer of America Chapter.
  Haley has a strong commitment to agriculture and hopes to be involved 
in agriculture in the future. Haley said, ``To accomplish this goal is 
really motivating.'' Her plans include an agriculture education and 
becoming an advocate for agriculture issues. In order for Haley to 
receive this award it took many years of hard work and determination to 
be successful in agriculture. She has been an active member in the 
Atlantic FFA Chapter, exhibited livestock at the Cass County Fair and 
served as an officer of her FFA Chapter, as well as participating in 
numerous activities and contests. Haley had to accomplish a supervised 
agriculture experience project, maintain records of the project, and 
complete an application for consideration in completing her 
requirements for the award.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Haley for earning this award. 
It is with great pride that I recognize her today. I ask that my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating her accomplishments and in wishing her nothing but 
continued success in her future endeavors in agriculture.
