                         Tuesday, June 25, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tradition 
of Breakfast on the Farm in Marinette County.
  Breakfast on the Farm is an iconic Marinette 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 a delicious breakfast 
prepared on the farm.
  I am grateful to Van De Walle Farm for hosting the 2019 Marinette 
County Breakfast on the Farm. Van De Walle Farm is a multigenerational 
dairy farm that milks 140 cows daily. In addition, the Van De Walles 
raise all their young stock and farm about 450 of feed for their 
cattle. Because of their love of animals and the dairy industry, the 
Van De Walle Family maintains exceptional cow comfort and health to 
produce high quality milk. The Van De Walle Family takes great pride in 
their work and plans on teaching future generations about the industry.
  Marinette County Dairy Promotions organizes Breakfast on the Farm by 
recruiting host farms, sponsors and volunteers to support this popular 
event. In addition, the organization has a mission to promote 
agriculture and dairy products at various community events throughout 
the year across Marinette County.
  Madam Speaker, l 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 Van De 
Walle Family, Marinette County Dairy Promotions, and all the sponsors 
and volunteers for their continued support of Wisconsin's dairy 
industry.
