                        RECOGNIZING MURRAY WISE

  (Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
a great friend of mine and a great friend of agriculture, Murray Wise.
  Farming and agriculture have always played an integral role in 
Murray's life. He grew up on his parents' grain and livestock farm and 
even acquired his first farm before attending college.
  After graduating early from Iowa State University, Murray continued 
to show his commitment to agriculture through his first job with Allied 
Mills, Incorporated, and his second with The Sandage Companies. And, 
now, years later, Murray is the chairman and CEO of Murray Wise 
Associates, a leading authority on land marketing based in Champaign, 
Illinois.
  In 2 weeks, Murray will be honored as Parkland College's V. Dale 
Cozad Entrepreneur of the Year. I can't think of a more deserving 
individual than Murray to receive this prestigious award.
  Murray is recognized not only for his years of hard work and 
education but also for his innovative ideas and position as a national 
leader in agriculture.
  Congratulations, Murray, on this incredible achievement, and I look 
forward to working with you for years to come on behalf of the 
agricultural communities in central Illinois. Congrats again, Murray.
