                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dr. Alan Robinson of Atlantic, Iowa, for receiving the 
Hall of Fame Award sponsored by the Cass County Cattleman's 
Association.
  Dr. Robinson graduated from Iowa State University in 1977 with a 
degree in veterinarian medicine. His career began with a successful 
veterinarian practice, but then an opportunity arose to start raising 
cattle. He continued to assist local veterinarians, even as his cattle 
operation continued to grow, to keep his hands in animal medicine.
  His farm operation focuses on raising corn, soybeans, and feeder 
cattle. He said it is important to be progressive in your thinking with 
all the changes in farming over the past twenty years. After receiving 
this award, Dr. Robinson said he was ``humbled'' to receive it and that 
he is honored to know people in the business respect his contributions 
to the industry.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Dr. Robinson for earning this 
outstanding award. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives join me in congratulating him for his many 
accomplishments in the agriculture industry and in wishing him nothing 
but continued success in all his endeavors.
