                        Thursday, July 11, 2019

  Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Warren Stemme 
and his family on the 150th anniversary of their farm in Missouri's 2nd 
Congressional District.
  Founded in 1869, Stemme Farms has become a landmark in St. Louis 
County, helping develop the community while playing an integral role in 
Missouri agriculture over the past century and a half.
  One of the few full-time operations in the area, the 1,100-acre corn 
and soybean farm embraces the latest in agricultural technology, 
providing an indispensable source of education for school groups, 
advocates, and elected officials alike.
  A fourth-generation farmer, representative of the St. Louis County 
Farm Bureau, and former president of the Missouri Soybean Association, 
Mr. Stemme is one of the premier farmers and agricultural advocates 
statewide.
  It is my honor to recognize and congratulate Stemme Farms for 
providing the St. Louis community with nutrition, economic development, 
technological insights, and breathtaking scenery for the past 150 
years.

                          ____________________
