                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 12, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tradition 
of Breakfast on the Farm in Kewaunee County hosted this year by Kinnard 
Farms in Casco.
  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.
  I am grateful to Kinnard Farms for hosting the 2019 Kewaunee County 
Breakfast on the Farm. Kinnard Farms was founded on April 9, 1948 by 
Alvin and Milly Kinnard with the purchase of eighty acres, fourteen 
cows, and seven heifers. Today, the Kinnard Family farms over 10,000 
acres and milks 7,200 cows between two locations. Ninety percent of 
today's herd originates from the bloodline of the original fourteen 
cows purchased by Alvin and Milly.
  Kewaunee County Dairy Promotion organizes the annual Breakfast on the 
Farm by recruiting host farms, sponsors and volunteers to support this 
terrific event. In addition, Kewaunee County Dairy Promotion provides 
educational opportunities to the community to increase awareness of 
Wisconsin's daily industry and the products produced by area daily 
farmers.
  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 
Kinnards, Kewaunee County Dairy Promotion, and the countless sponsors 
and volunteers for their continued support of Wisconsin's dairy 
industry.
