Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 106th Annual Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest indoor agriculture show under one roof in the country.

Each year, I have the privilege to tour the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, meet with commodity groups and industry leaders, and host a public listening session.

I thank those who joined me in 2022: Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation Members Congressman Keller and Congressman Meuser, and House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Commodity Exchanges, Energy, and Credit, Ranking Member Michelle Fischbach--all strong allies of the agriculture community.

I also thank Pennsylvania's Secretary of Agriculture, Russell Redding, for his participation, and the farmers and ranchers and producers we visit with for sharing their concerns, voicing their questions, and more importantly, clothing and feeding our great Commonwealth, country, and world.

I know there is no experience that replaces the value of meeting with our producers face to face. The Pennsylvania Farm Show truly does bring together so many different people in the ag community on the local, State, and Federal level. It is an event like no other.
