                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 19, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tradition 
of Sundae on the Farm in Calumet County hosted this year by Jenlar 
Holsteins and Brown Swiss in Chilton.
  Sundae on the Farm is an iconic Calumet County 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 delicious cheese and ice 
cream.
  I am grateful to Jenlar Holsteins and Brown Swiss for hosting the 
2019 Calumet County Sundae on the Farm. Andy and Joan Meyer started 
their farm in 1970 with one calf. Today, three generations of the Meyer 
Family farms and milks over 120 cows. The Meyers continuously strive to 
improve their farm, utilizing innovative practices like sand bedding 
and a robotic milking system to make the cows more comfortable. The 
operation of the farm has changed over time, but the Meyer Family's 
pride in their work remains strong.
  The Calumet County Dairy Promotion Committee organizes Sundae on the 
Farm by recruiting host farms, sponsors, and volunteers to support this 
terrific event. To continue the promotion of agriculture throughout the 
year, the Committee provides educational opportunities to communities 
across Calumet County.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in 
commending the efforts of the Sundae on the Farm to educate the 
community through this time-honored tradition. Thank you to the Meyers, 
the Calumet County Dairy Promotion Committee, and the countless 
sponsors and volunteers for their continued support of Wisconsin's 
dairy industry.
