                        Tuesday, August 31, 2021

  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Linda Hamilton on being selected for induction into the Wyoming 
Agriculture Hall of Fame Class of 2021.
  Linda grew up on a ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska and attended 
college at Northwest College in Powell and later, the University of 
Wyoming. Linda has long been a leader in her community and in the field 
of agriculture in Wyoming. Through Linda's willingness to share her 
extensive knowledge of the agriculture industry, she has become known 
as a spearhead and a trusted adviser within our local community and 
other agricultural communities throughout the state.
  Linda has dedicated her time and efforts to many events and 
organizations within the Hyattville community, as well as serving as a 
founding member of Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom. Through her 
activism, Linda was able to further the work of the Wyoming Association 
of Conservation District to assist farmers and ranchers in improving 
their operations while also protecting soil, water, plant, and wildlife 
resources.
  You can find Linda feeding bum lambs, driving equipment, wrangling 
grandchildren, sewing or completing any task that needs to be done on 
the ranch or within the community on a regular basis. Linda's devotion 
to the ranch, her family, and the agriculture industry is unmatched. 
Wyoming is fortunate that Linda chose to move here from Nebraska all 
those many years ago. Linda possesses a drive and tenacity that is 
truly unmatched. You will not find anyone as dedicated to the promotion 
of local agriculture and the ranching way of life.
  I thank Linda for her dedication to Wyoming's agriculture industry, 
and congratulations to her on the well-deserved induction into the Hall 
of Fame.
