  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 18 farms in the 
Sixth Congressional District of Indiana who have received a Hoosier 
Homestead Award for their commitment to Indiana agriculture.
  In honor of Indiana's rich agricultural heritage, the Hoosier 
Homestead Award Program recognizes farms that have been owned by the 
same family for 100 years or more. I am proud that 18 farms within the 
Sixth Congressional District have met these qualifications and have 
received the Hoosier Homestead award. These include:
  William S. Emly Farm (Decatur County).
  Oesterling Homestead (Decatur County).
  Rosfeld Farm (Franklin County).
  Meyer Family Farm (Franklin County).
  Kolb Farm (Franklin County).
  Funke Farm (Jennings County).
  Hobson Farm (Randolph County).
  Huffman Family Farm (Randolph County).
  Timke Farm (Ripley County).
  Kohlman Farm (Ripley County).
  Huber Farm (Ripley County).
  Crum Farm (Ripley County).
  Francis Graham Farms Inc. (Rush County).
  Linville Farm (Shelby County).
  Dake Farm (Shelby County).
  Crandell Farm (Switzerland County).
  Romerill Farm (Switzerland County).
  Gavin-Beck Family Homestead (Union County).
  On behalf of the entire Sixth Congressional District of Indiana, it 
is my privilege to recognize these farms for this award and their 
lasting impact and commitment on our community.
