                        Wednesday, June 12, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tradition 
of Breakfast on the Farm in Waupaca County located this year in 
Weyauwega.
  Breakfast on the Farm is an iconic Wisconsin tradition that provides 
the community an opportunity to learn about the significant role the 
dairy industry plays in Wisconsin's economy. Community members meet 
dairy farmers, explore farm equipment, and enjoy a hearty meal 
together.
  I am grateful for the Weyauwega-Fremont Future Farmers of America for 
organizing Waupaca County's Breakfast on the Farm. Their work to 
recruit sponsors and volunteers is integral to the success of this 
terrific event. In addition to breakfast, the event includes a petting 
zoo, hayrides, children's activities and viewings of farm equipment. 
All proceeds from the Waupaca County Breakfast on the Farm are used for 
FFA leadership conferences, conventions, and scholarships.
  The National FFA Organization is a youth organization that prepares 
students for leadership and career success in the field of agriculture. 
Since 1928, the National FFA Organization has been fostering student 
engagement in agricultural education through hands-on experiential 
learning opportunities, national events and conferences, and 
scholarship and grant programs. The organization has seen much success 
over the years, and currently supports 669,989 members in 8,630 
chapters throughout the country.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in 
commending the efforts of Breakfast on the Farm to educate the 
community through this time-honored tradition. Thank you to the 
Weyauwega-Fremont Future Farmers of America and the countless sponsors 
and volunteers for their continued support of Wisconsin's dairy 
industry.
