   Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi Farm Bureau 
                              Federation.

Whereas the American Farm Bureau was established in 1919 to disseminate college 
        research results to farmers and has since grown into one of the 
        strongest agriculture advocacy organizations in the United States, with 
        6,000,000 members and affiliated services and member benefits;
Whereas the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation was officially chartered on 
        October 30, 1922, in Jackson, Mississippi, and C.L. Neill of Jones 
        County was elected as the first president of the Mississippi Farm Bureau 
        Federation;
Whereas the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation is a strong voice in agriculture 
        for farmers, ranchers, and rural Mississippians;
Whereas the mission of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation is to create an 
        environment in which Mississippi farmers, ranchers, and Farm Bureau 
        members can have a better life and make a better living; and
Whereas October 30, 2022, marks the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi Farm 
        Bureau Federation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi 
        Farm Bureau Federation; and
            (2) commemorates its history, effective advocacy, and 
        contributions to agriculture in Mississippi.
