                        Thursday, March 26, 2015

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kenneth R. Mowry, 
a native of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania for his recent induction into 
the Pennsylvania Holstein Hall of Fame. This honor culminates a career 
spanning over 65 years of breeding and developing some of the most 
productive dairy cows in the nation.
   This long and successful journey in the agriculture industry began 
for Mr. Mowry when he joined his father at Mowry Farms, a 1,100 acre 
350-cow dairy farm in Roaring Spring. In the years that followed, the 
farm's cattle set 52 state records and another 26 national records in 
dairy production. Not slowing down with achievements, Mr. Mowry also 
had 12 of his cows featured on the front cover of ``Holstein World,'' a 
publication dedicated to Holstein breeders.
   In addition to his Holstein-related contributions, Mr. Mowry should 
also be recognized for his dedication and service to the local 
community. Mr. Mowry, a member of Martinsburg Grace Brethren Church, 
served nearly 40 years on the Morrison's Cove Memorial Park Board of 
Directors, was a member of the Cove Lion's Club for 25 years, and sat 
on the Northern Bedford School Board for 12 years.
   Mr. Mowry's induction in the Pennsylvania Holstein Hall of Fame 
recognizes his outstanding career and brings great distinction upon 
himself, the community, and the 9th District of Pennsylvania. I invite 
my colleagues to join me in offering congratulations for his many 
achievements and more than 50 years of selfless community service.
