Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate Keith Hamilton on being selected for induction into the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame Class of 2021.
Keith grew up as the fourth generation on the Hamilton Ranch. His family's long-standing roots in the agricultural industry gave him a vast knowledge of our state's unique ranching traditions. Keith used this information to benefit his community by working to conserve natural resources important to our western lifestyle. Over the course of his career, Keith has been recognized as a strong voice for the agriculture industry and quickly became a role model for aspiring young ranchers.
In 1975, Keith joined the Wyoming Farm Bureau and began taking on leadership positions. In 1981, he became the Big Horn County Farm Bureau Vice President. In 1988, Keith joined the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors and represented Big Horn, Fremont, Hot Springs, Park, and Washakie counties as the Northwest District Director until 2010. He also serves on the American Farm Bureau's Public Lands working committee.
Keith has been very active in serving on other boards including the Wyoming State Grazing Board, Wyoming Wool Growers, Wyoming Stockgrowers. wildlife working groups, and his local school board. Through his service, Keith has shown his genuine passion and dedication to giving back to his community and the agriculture industry.
Keith works from sunup to sundown with a smile on his face, a quick wit, and a joy that emulates from within. Through his commitment to his community, neighbors, and friends, Keith has become a great example of the type of rancher Wyoming needs.
I thank Keith for his tireless efforts to promote agriculture and for his service to our state. Congratulations to him on his well-deserved induction into the Hall of Fame.
