                        Thursday, March 5, 2020

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I would like to honor a remarkable 
organization, the Cass-Morgan County Farm Bureau. The Cass-Morgan 
County Farm Bureau in central Illinois is a vital organization in the 
area that promotes agricultural prosperity. After many years of success 
and service, the Cass-Morgan County Farm Bureau is celebrating their 
50th anniversary.
  The Cass-Morgan County Farm Bureau was chartered on March 2, 1970, to 
unite farmers in the area and advocate for central Illinois agriculture 
collectively. Today, the members of the organization work hard to 
support the community and economy throughout the county.
  The Cass-Morgan County Farm Bureau provides a voice for farmers, 
promotes the development of agriculture, and educates and empowers 
future leaders in the industry. Additionally, Cass-Morgan County Farm 
Bureau coordinates with other associations and agencies to promote the 
well-being and interests of its members.
  Illinois has become a major economic force within the agricultural 
sector because of farm bureaus like Cass-Morgan County that come 
together and enhance opportunities for farmers, their families, and the 
community. I extend my sincere congratulations to the Cass-Morgan 
County Farm Bureau for their outstanding accomplishments and 
contributions to Illinois.
