                       Tuesday, October 16, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Adams 
County ISU Extension and Outreach in Corning, 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 the Morrill Act which established land-grant 
university systems. Extension and Outreach reached out to the farmers 
and homemakers to improve seeds, farming, and home practices. ISU 
Extension and Outreach now focus 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 Adams 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 well into 
the future.
