the Year Award, presented by the Cass County Soil and Water 
Conservation District. This award is a joint effort of the Governor's 
Office, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and 
the Department of Natural Resources.
  The Conservationist of the Year Award recognizes the exemplary 
voluntary actions of farmers who work to improve and protect the 
environment and natural resources of our state. Nick and Sue were 
selected for this award because of their outstanding work in their 
farming operations and for serving as local leaders in environmental 
stewardship on their farm, utilizing a variety of techniques and best 
management practices. Their efforts have helped improve and protect the 
environment in the State of Iowa.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Nick and Sue for earning this 
award. They are shining examples of how hard work and dedication to 
conservation can benefit their property and the environment around them 
for years to come. I know my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating them for this 
outstanding achievement and wishing them nothing but continued success.
