  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Keith Hamilton on being selected for induction into the Wyoming 
Agriculture Hall of Fame Class of 2021.
  Keith grew up as the fourth generation on the Hamilton Ranch. His 
family's long-standing roots in the agricultural industry gave him a 
vast knowledge of our state's unique ranching traditions. Keith used 
this information to benefit his community by working to conserve 
natural resources important to our western lifestyle. Over the course 
of his career, Keith has been recognized as a strong voice for the 
agriculture industry and quickly became a role model for aspiring young 
ranchers.
  In 1975, Keith joined the Wyoming Farm Bureau and began taking on 
leadership positions. In 1981, he became the Big Horn County Farm 
Bureau Vice President. In 1988, Keith joined the Wyoming Farm Bureau 
Federation Board of Directors and represented Big Horn, Fremont, Hot 
Springs, Park, and Washakie counties as the Northwest District Director 
until 2010. He also serves on the American Farm Bureau's Public Lands 
working committee.
  Keith has been very active in serving on other boards including the 
Wyoming State Grazing Board, Wyoming Wool Growers, Wyoming 
Stockgrowers. wildlife working groups, and his local school board. 
Through his service, Keith has shown his genuine passion and dedication 
to giving back to his community and the agriculture industry.
  Keith works from sunup to sundown with a smile on his face, a quick 
wit, and a joy that emulates from within. Through his commitment to his 
community, neighbors, and friends, Keith has become a great example of 
the type of rancher Wyoming needs.
  I thank Keith for his tireless efforts to promote agriculture and for 
his service to our state. Congratulations to him on his well-deserved 
induction into the Hall of Fame.
