     HONORING KING BROTHERS DAIRY FOR RECEIVING THE NEW YORK STATE 
           AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD

                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 28, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor King Brothers 
Dairy for receiving the New York State Agricultural Society's Business 
of the Year Award. For over 17 years, the NYS Agricultural Society has 
presented Business of the Year honors to both a producer and an 
agribusiness, recognizing the quality, leadership and innovation they 
demonstrate that enhances the integrity of the industry.
  King's Ransom Farm, located in Schuylerville has been in operation 
for over 100 years. Jan and Jeff King's grandparents had been in the 
creamery business through the 1960s and in 2010, the family decided to 
return to their roots, establishing King Brothers Dairy. They began 
bottling and delivering milk from their own 1,000-cow herd to customers 
in their community and throughout the Hudson Valley. In 2019, they 
launched a retail store, selling over 34 flavors of ice cream and local 
products sourced from the area. When I visited the King Brothers Dairy 
in 2018 with USDA Secretary Perdue, I was impressed with their 
dedication to producing wholesome dairy products and providing 
excellent customer service. Their popularity within the community and 
their commitment to quality warrant this recent award.
  Agriculture is an essential component of the economy in Northern New 
York and King Brothers Dairy exemplifies the quality and diversity of 
North Country farms. On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would 
like to congratulate the entire King Family for this well-deserved 
recognition. I look forward to their future success.
