                         TRIBUTE TO KYLE JONES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 23, 2009

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Kyle Jones, a resident 
of Slater, Iowa. Kyle has been a custom applicator with Heartland Co-op 
for 22 years and was named Ag-Chem Operator of the Year during this 
year's Agriculture Retailers Association convention in Austin, Texas.
  The Ag-Chem Operator of the Year Program was introduced in 2006. The 
program acknowledges the importance of having great operators and 
recognizes top professionals in the field. In his position, Kyle covers 
over 44,000 acres per year, treating every acre with care and 
professionalism, and his co-workers have stood by his reliability and 
hard work.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
congratulating Kyle Jones on becoming Ag-Chem Operator of the Year and 
for being an outstanding professional in his industry. It is an honor 
to represent Kyle in Congress, and I wish him future happiness and 
success.
