  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tradition 
of Breakfast on the Farm in Outagamie County.
  Breakfast on the Farm is an iconic Wisconsin tradition that provides 
the community an opportunity to see first-hand how a dairy farm 
operates and learn about the significant role the dairy industry plays 
in Wisconsin's economy. Community members meet dairy farmers, explore 
the barns and equipment, and enjoy a delicious meal prepared on the 
farm.
  Outagamie County Dairy Promotion organizes the annual Breakfast on 
the Farm by recruiting host farms, sponsors, and volunteers to support 
this terrific event. In addition, Outagamie County Dairy Promotion 
provides educational opportunities to the community to increase 
awareness of Wisconsin's dairy industry and the products produced by 
area dairy farmers.
  I am grateful to Steffens Dairy Farm for hosting the 2019 Outagamie 
County Breakfast on the Farm. Steffens Dairy Farm was established in 
1971 when Joe Steffens purchased farmland in Seymour. Since 2004, the 
farm has been maintained by his wife, Lorraine, and sons, Dan and 
Steve. Today, Steffens Dairy Farm, LLC milks 120 cows and manages over 
280 acres of crop land. Always pursuing innovative practices, the 
Steffens equipped their barn with two Lely Robotic milkers, resulting 
in cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable cattle.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in 
commending the efforts of

Promotion, and the countless sponsors and volunteers for their 
continued support of Wisconsin's dairy industry.
