                      Wednesday, February 15, 2017

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Dale McCall on 
being inducted into the Colorado Agriculture Hall of Fame. This honor 
is reserved for those who have made a significant contribution to the 
agricultural industry of Colorado and the United States.
  Dr. McCall has made a great impact on the agricultural industry 
throughout his life. He devoted 40 years to agricultural education 
after receiving his bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. degrees from Colorado 
State University. He has helped the next generation of agriculture 
producers through his roles as a teacher, Agricultural Education staff 
member, and even Executive Director of Boards of Cooperative 
Educational Services (BOCES).
  Not only has Dr. McCall given his time to agricultural education, he 
also has first-hand experience working on the farm. He and his wife 
have grown a variety of crops including oats, wheat, and milo. He is 
the current president of the Rocky Mountain Farmer's Union and has 
received numerous awards for his various agriculture and educational 
achievements.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I extend my 
best wishes as Dr. McCall pursues his future endeavors. His passion and 
dedication to the agricultural industry makes him more than worthy of 
this distinct recognition. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Dr. 
Dale McCall for his accomplishments.
