                   RECOGNIZING NATIONAL TEACH AG DAY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize National Teach Ag Day.
  National Teach Ag Day is for anyone who wants to celebrate school-
based agricultural education, share the story of agriculture 
education's importance and effectiveness in the United States, and 
encourage students to consider careers as agricultural educators.
  This year, we are celebrating 75 years of the National Association of 
Agricultural Educators.
  Madam Speaker, our agricultural educators are responsible for 
cultivating and inspiring the next generation of agricultural leaders. 
This happens in the classroom with extension programs or groups like 
FFA and 4-H. By recognizing our agricultural educators, we can ensure 
our students have knowledge and exposure to all the opportunities the 
agricultural industry and sector have to offer.
  Madam Speaker, I thank all the ag teachers and volunteers across the 
country who help support our Nation's farmers, ranchers, foresters, and 
producers.
