   CONGRATULATING DAN GLESSING, 14TH PRESIDENT OF THE MINNESOTA FARM 
                           BUREAU FEDERATION

  (Mr. EMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dan 
Glessing, the newest president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation. 
Dan has served as vice president and as a member of the Minnesota Farm 
Bureau board for more than 8 years. He recently was elected to serve as 
the 14th president of the bureau on November 19 following the 
announcement of Kevin Paap's retirement in March after serving 16 years 
in his position as president.
  Our office and I personally have been fortunate to know and work with 
Dan for many years already. Dan and his family are the definition of 
the great American farming tradition. He has always been a steadfast 
advocate for our State's farmers and producers. I am proud that Dan, 
his wife, Seena, and the entire Glessing family call Minnesota's Sixth 
District home.
  There are many challenges ahead for Dan, but I know he will continue 
to be a leader for all of Minnesota's farmers, ranchers, producers, and 
agribusinesses. I congratulate Dan on his new leadership role, and I 
look forward to working with him and everyone at the Minnesota Farm 
Bureau on behalf of Minnesota's agriculture community.
