                        TRIBUTE TO TED BENSHOOF

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 22, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ted Benshoof of Winterset, Iowa for being selected as 
Madison County's 2016 inductee into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame. The Iowa 
4-H Foundation hosts the 4-H Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the 
Iowa State Fair each year.
  Iowa counties select Hall of Fame inductees for their contributions 
to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program. Ted has left a 
lasting impact on the Madison County 4-H program through his unwavering 
commitment as a volunteer. On pig weigh-in days at the Madison County 
4-H/FFA show, he has been known to go around to each member's home, 
making sure those who are unable to make it still have the opportunity 
to weigh-in their entries. His actions are a testament to his 
dedication to the 4-H youth of Madison County.
  Mr. Speaker, Ted's efforts embody the Iowa spirit and I am honored to 
represent him in the United States Congress. I ask that all of my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Ted for his achievements and wish him nothing but 
continued success.
