                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize King Brother's 
Dairy in Schuylerville,

[[Page E1470]]

New York, and their recent partnership with National Grid.
  For five generations, Kings-Ransom dairy farmers have been making a 
positive impact on the North Country economy with their contributions 
to the local agriculture market. In 2010, the farm's owners, Jan and 
Jeff King, decided to return to their roots by starting King Brothers 
Dairy, a service which provides fresh milk and other dairy products 
directly to the doors of nearby consumers. By providing highly sought 
after locally sourced food to their neighbors, the King Family has 
contributed greatly to the Upstate New York community, earning their 
dairy products the ``New York State Grown and Certified Producer'' 
certification in the process.
  The innovative spirit displayed at King Brother's Dairy has also 
attracted the attention of National Grid, who have partnered with the 
farm by providing $100,000 in energy efficiency and economic 
development grant funding. This investment from National Grid has 
assisted King Brother's Dairy in the development of their new bottling 
facility, while also helping to ensure that the farm can continue their 
leadership in the agricultural community.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to thank National Grid 
and King Brother's Dairy for their important contributions to local 
agriculture. In addition to encouraging economic development in the 
North Country, their work provides an important example of the success 
that can be achieved by working together.
