  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Senator Bob Kremer on his induction into the Nebraska Hall of 
Agricultural Achievement for his long and valuable service to 
agriculture.
  The Hall is an organization whose primary purpose is to acknowledge 
and preserve the records of those citizens of Nebraska who have made 
outstanding contributions to the well-being of Nebraska's agricultural 
way of life.

  Bob, a farmer and cattle feeder, served in the Legislature from 1999 
to 2007. He was Chair of the Agriculture Committee from 2003-2006. 
Throughout his service to our State, Bob was a leader in policy related 
to property taxes, grain bonding and warehousing commodity check-offs, 
and beginning farmer incentives. He is also Chairman of Nebraska 
25x'25, a coalition dedicated to increasing the use of renewable energy 
derived from agricultural sources.
  I have known Bob for a long time. He has been a tireless advocate not 
only for Nebraska agriculture, but for America's agriculture industry 
as a whole. I have always been impressed with his ability to look to 
the future while holding on to what makes Nebraska's way of life so 
great. I am anxious to see what he will accomplish next.
  I want to thank Bob for his service and once again, congratulate him 
on this honor.
