Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Kinley family's Pennsylvania Centennial Farm designation.

For over 100 years, the Kinley beef farm has operated in Cogan Station, Lycoming County. This farm has been more than a source of livelihood. It has been a legacy of hard work, dedication, and love for the land.

When Samuel Kinley first purchased this 106-acre farm in 1904, he likely couldn't have imagined that his vision and determination would span five generations. From Samuel's hands to Adam and Shannon Kinley's stewardship today, this farm has been a cornerstone of Lycoming County agricultural heritage.

Our producers are the backbone of our Nation. They work tirelessly every day to feed, fuel, and clothe the world. Farms like the Kinleys remind us that agriculture is not just about feeding our families today. It is about sowing the seeds for future generations.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the Kinleys for their contributions to the community and to Pennsylvania agriculture.
