  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
construction and subsequent opening of the DuPont Pioneer Crick 
Research Center in Johnston, Iowa.
  The $40 million DuPont Pioneer Crick Research Center, located in 
Johnston, Iowa, showcases the investment toward innovation, safety and 
stewardship of Pioneer agricultural products and contributing to global 
food security. The 180,000 square foot state-of-the-art research 
facility will be home to over 400 Pioneer employees, and includes 
84,000 sq. ft. of laboratory space, 31 conference rooms, and flexible, 
ergonomic work stations. The Crick Research Center features an on-site 
fitness center and cafeteria for employees.
  I commend DuPont Pioneer and their staff for providing cutting edge 
agricultural services that help to improve yields and create a 
sustainable livelihood for farmers around the world. I urge my 
colleagues in the United States Congress to join me in congratulating 
DuPont Pioneer for their numerous achievements' including the opening 
of the DuPont Pioneer Crick Research Center. I wish them and all of 
their employees the best of luck moving forward.
