                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2022

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chad Schmidt of 
Nutrien Ag Solutions, an agricultural business that was honored by 
achieving a national certification from the ResponsibleAg Certification 
Program.
  ResponsibleAg is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 to promote 
public welfare. It is a successful voluntary initiative that provides a 
comprehensive assessment of agricultural facilities that store and 
handle farm input supplies such as fertilizer, crop protection 
products, seed, and fuel. Certification requires that a facility meet 
stringent regulatory-based criteria, implement industry leading safety 
and security measures, and uphold facility safety as one of its highest 
priorities.
  Nutrien Ag Solutions provides full-acre solutions through a network 
of trusted crop consultants at more than 1,700 global locations. They 
help growers achieve the highest yields with the most sustainable 
solutions possible, offering a wide selection of crop seed, protection 
and nutrition that help farmers across the world.
  It is because of industry leaders such as Chad that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Chad Schmidt and Nutrien Ag 
Solutions on receiving national certification from the ResponsibleAg 
Certification Program.
