       RECOGNIZING MINNESOTA FARM BUREAU FEDERATION'S KEVIN PAAP

  (Mr. EMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Minnesota Farm 
Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap, who will be retiring in 
November.
  Kevin has been president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau for 16 years, 
during which time I and my team have been fortunate enough to work with 
him very closely on many occasions.
  In addition to being a selfless servant leader, Kevin Paap walks the 
walk. He and his wife, Julie, own and operate a fourth-generation 
family farm in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, where they grow corn and 
soybeans.
  Whenever I speak to Kevin, I am impressed by his commitment and focus 
to improving the lives of Minnesota's farmers and advancing American 
agriculture. He has been the advocate that our State's farm and ranch 
community deserves, and we will be forever grateful for his work.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Kevin on his well-earned retirement. I 
look forward to seeing him and his family again soon.
