                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 27, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Clayton Saeugling of Atlantic, Iowa, for receiving the 
American Future Farmers of America Degree Award. The American Future 
Farmers of America (FFA) Degree is the highest honor an FFA member can 
achieve. According to Eric Miller, FFA Advisor at the Atlantic High 
School, ``less than one percent of the 653,359 FFA members will receive 
this prestigious award.''
  In earning this degree, Clayton had to earn and invest at least 
$10,000 through a supervised agricultural program that he started, 
owned, and in which he held a professional position. He also had to 
complete 50 hours of community service, demonstrating his community 
commitment and leadership skills. FFA Advisor Eric Miller further 
added, ``I am very proud of Clayton and all his hard work he has put 
into his project and his education.'' Clayton said, ``getting my 
American FFA Degree was a once in a lifetime experience that I am glad 
I could be a part of. All of the time and hard work that I have put 
into FFA was well worth it.''
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Clayton for earning this 
award 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 and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
