                  106TH ANNUAL PENNSYLVANIA FARM SHOW

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
celebrate the 106th Annual Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest indoor 
agriculture show under one roof in the country.
  Each year, I have the privilege to tour the Pennsylvania Farm Show 
Complex, meet with commodity groups and industry leaders, and host a 
public listening session.
  I thank those who joined me in 2022: Pennsylvania Congressional 
Delegation Members Congressman Keller and Congressman Meuser, and House 
Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Commodity Exchanges, Energy, 
and Credit, Ranking Member Michelle Fischbach--all strong allies of the 
agriculture community.
  I also thank Pennsylvania's Secretary of Agriculture, Russell 
Redding, for his participation, and the farmers and ranchers and 
producers we visit with for sharing their concerns, voicing their 
questions, and more importantly, clothing and feeding our great 
Commonwealth, country, and world.
  I know there is no experience that replaces the value of meeting with 
our producers face to face. The Pennsylvania Farm Show truly does bring 
together so many different people in the ag community on the local, 
State, and Federal level. It is an event like no other.
