                          NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH

  (Mr. EMMER of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of 
Minnesota's dairy industry and National Dairy Month.
  In my home State, dairy is one of our largest agricultural products. 
We are one of the Nation's top dairy-producing States, and Stearns 
County, in my district, is the top dairy-producing county in Minnesota.
  Dairy farming is more than a profession; it is a way of life for many 
Minnesota families. I have had the privilege of visiting dairy farms 
across my district and have seen firsthand the hard work these men and 
women do day in and day out. From waking up before sunrise to milk 
their cows, to breeding, to delivering and raising newborn calves, it 
is just another day at the office for these folks.
  I am proud of Minnesota's dairy industry, and I hope that every 
American will take some time to grab an ice cream cone and appreciate 
the hard work that goes into making some of our Nation's favorite food.
  Happy Dairy Month to all of our hard-working farmers.
