                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 5, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Kevin Ross of Minden, Iowa, for being named the Iowa 
Delegate to the Council for Agricultural Research, Extension, and 
Teaching (CADET). Kevin will represent Iowa State University Extension 
and Outreach and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
  CADET was originally organized in 1982. According to the Neola 
Gazette, ``the organization works closely with the Association of 
Public and Land Grant Universities and advocates for support of the 
land grant university food and agricultural research, extension, and 
teaching programs that enhance the quality of life.'' Kevin holds a 
degree in agricultural studies, operates the Ross Land & Cattle LLC, a 
family farm and cow-calf operation, and is a licensed crop insurance 
agent. Kevin serves on the board of Iowa Energy, LLC, the National Corn 
Growers Association Board, and the West Pottawattamie County Extension 
Council.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Kevin on his many years of dedicated service 
to the agriculture community. I am proud to represent him in the United 
States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Kevin for his accomplishments 
and in wishing him and his family nothing but the best.
