          RECOGNIZING AND CELEBRATING MR. WEARLEY'S RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. MATTHEW M. ROSENDALE, SR.

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate 
the recent retirement of a remarkable Montanan, Mr. Milford Wearley, 
who served his community and dedicated years of his life to training 
and teaching future farmers and ranchers across Montana.
  After graduating from Choteau High School in 1971, Mr. Wearley 
attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where he later graduated 
with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Science and a Master's degree in 
Agricultural Education.
  Upon graduation, Mr. Wearley chose to pursue his career in training 
and educating students about Agriculture as he served as an FFA Advisor 
at Malta High School in 1981. Since then, Mr. Wearley's passion for 
teaching and training the next generation of farmers in Montana 
flourished. After three years in Malta, Mr. Wearley moved to Choteau to 
continue his career and passion for teaching, where he stayed until 
recently retiring.
  Agriculture isn't just an industry in Montana, it's our way of life, 
and thanks to Mr. Wearley's lifelong dedication to training, teaching, 
and advising aspiring farmers, ranchers, and students, our state is 
stronger, and our agricultural industry is more resilient.
  It is a privilege to recognize Mr. Wearley's 40 years of service and 
his impact while instructing the next generation of farmers and 
ranchers across the Treasure State.
