                        Tuesday, August 7, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ringgold 
County ISU Extension and Outreach in Mount Ayr, Iowa on their 100-year 
anniversary. This is an important milestone in their history of service 
to Southwest Iowa and the Third Congressional District.
  Iowa State University Extension and Outreach began in 1862 when 
President Lincoln signed into the Morrill Act, which established land-
grant university systems. Extension and Outreach engaged farmers and 
homemakers to improve seeds, farming, and home practices. ISU Extension 
and Outreach now focuses on four main topics, ag and natural resources, 
health and well-being, economic development, and youth and 4-H outreach 
opportunities.
  Throughout its many years of service, ISU Extension and Outreach has 
successfully met the needs of Southwest Iowa by providing excellent 
education for youth through 4-H and adults with necessary services to 
the communities. I congratulate Ringgold County Extension on this 
historic anniversary and it is an honor to represent its employees in 
the United States Congress. I wish them nothing but continued success.
