                     WYOMING FARM BUREAU FEDERATION

  Mr. BARRASSO. Madam President, I wish to recognize the Wyoming Farm 
Bureau Federation's 90 years of service. Since its first meeting, the 
Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation has advocated for Wyoming farm and ranch 
families in local, State and Federal policy. The organization has been 
a leader in advocating for low taxes, less government, multiple use, 
and most of all private property rights for generations. The Wyoming 
Farm Bureau Federation provides organization, resources, and service to 
our agriculture community.
  Among the strengths of the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation is the 
organization of the Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Program. This 
program provides resources and leadership for men and women beginning 
their careers in agriculture. The program is laying the foundation for 
future leaders in Wyoming agriculture and our rural communities.
  Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation serves as a reliable source of 
agriculture and business information in Wyoming. Many in Wyoming turn 
to Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation as the source for up-to-date 
agricultural news. The organization provides timely information and 
valuable insight into current issues facing Wyoming and America.
  Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation members will celebrate 90 years of 
service at their annual meeting this week in Casper, WY. They will 
remember the pioneer spirit that brought together farmers and ranchers 
from Wyoming's counties 90 years ago. The foresight of those early 
members has allowed the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation to be the 
leading agriculture organization that it is today.
  Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation has led the way to preserve individual 
freedoms and expand opportunities in agriculture for 90 years. I 
recognize this important milestone, and I wish the organization and all 
of its members future success.
