                          HONORING GARY TRUITT

  (Mr. BAIRD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the farm broadcaster, 
Gary Truitt.
  Gary was inducted into the National Association of Farm Broadcasting 
Hall of Fame for his outstanding work and commitment to delivering 
informative and insightful news to our Nation's farmers.
  I offer my congratulations to Gary for this remarkable achievement 
and to celebrate his dedicated career. Gary began his farm broadcasting 
career in 1981, bringing a fresh perspective to the industry. And in 
only a few years, he began his own news broadcast, which soon dominated 
Indiana radio.
  In 2006, he did it all over again after a corporate sale of his first 
network, and created Hoosier Ag Today. For more than 33 years, Hoosier 
farmers have relied on Hoosier Ag Today for the latest news about the 
condition of the agricultural industry and markets.
  Mr. Speaker, it is hard to find someone who puts his whole heart into 
everything that they do. Gary is one of them. I wish Gary many more 
years of success.
