                       RECOGNIZING LORI STEVERMER

  (Mr. Finstad of Minnesota was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend and 
fellow Minnesota farmer, Lori Stevermer, who recently completed a 
successful term as president of the National Pork Producers Council.
  Lori has dedicated her career to advocating for Minnesota's pork 
producers. In addition to raising pigs with her husband, Dale, on their 
farm near Easton, Minnesota, Lori served 9 years on the executive board 
of the Minnesota Pork Producers Association, including 2 years as 
president, and on various State and national committees.
  The time and effort she invests on behalf of not only Minnesota pork 
producers but all American pork producers has helped shape a better 
business climate, expand American producers' market access, and promote 
the benefits of pork to a wide audience.
  Lori often says: ``The world is run by the people who show up.'' And 
show up she does. Lori has made countless trips to Washington, as well 
as all across the country and internationally, to advocate for her 
fellow pork producers.
  I thank Lori for her years of relentless dedication and leadership, 
and congratulate her on a successful year as president of the National 
Pork Producers Council.
