                        Thursday, March 23, 2017

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Cambria 
County Farm Bureau in Pennsylvania's 9th and 12th Congressional 
Districts for reaching a huge milestone: its 50th Anniversary.
  The Cambria County Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization 
consisting of members from the local agricultural community who help 
develop and implement policy for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau.
  Since its founding in 1967, the Cambria County Farm Bureau has been 
instrumental in providing legislative outreach and information and 
services for area farmers and rural families. It plays a critical role 
in representing the local agricultural industry on a wide variety of 
issues impacting it at the federal and state levels.
  Cambria County has a rich tradition of farming that is being upheld 
today by hundreds of local farms that help feed and nourish the 
citizens of Pennsylvania, our nation, and those around the world.
  The Cambria County Farm Bureau will be celebrating its 50th 
Anniversary with a dinner in Carrolltown on March 29th that includes 
guest speakers Vincent ``Zippy'' Duvall, President of the American Farm 
Bureau Federation and Rick Ebert, President of Pennsylvania Farm 
Bureau.
  As such, it is with great pleasure that I congratulate the Cambria 
County Farm Bureau and its dedicated members on this 50th Anniversary 
milestone, and wish them an even brighter future.
