                CELEBRATING THE CAREER OF MICHELLE MOYER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DAN NEWHOUSE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Michelle 
Moyer, Associate Professor and Viticulture Extension Specialist at 
Washington State University, for her contributions to the robust 
Washington wine industry.
  Dr. Moyer was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative. This grant will 
assist Dr. Moyer in understanding and combating fungicide resistance, 
which currently threatens the $5 billion wine, table grape, and raisin 
crop.
  Dr. Moyer's research will be essential in protecting vulnerable 
farmers and their crops, ensuring that Washington State continues to 
grow the best wine grapes and produce high quality wine. As I 
congratulate her efforts, I also recognize the important contributions 
of women to agriculture--and especially to the wine industry, in which 
women tend to be underrepresented.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in celebrating Dr. Moyer's successful 
career, and I wish her the best in her research. Go Cougs.
