                          NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH

  (Mr. VALADAO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, June is National Dairy Month, an 
opportunity to honor the contributions of dairy farmers throughout the 
country.
  I am proud to represent our Nation's largest dairy district and the 
hardworking men and women in the Central Valley who work tirelessly to 
provide our Nation with milk, cheese, ice cream, and all the other 
dairy products we enjoy.
  There are over 30,000 dairy farms across the United States, and many 
of those are farmer-owned and operated. As a lifelong dairy farmer, I 
know firsthand the impact that these burdensome government regulations 
have on day-to-day operations of these family farms and businesses.
  We need to reduce the regulatory burdens on our domestic agriculture 
producers and incentivize more production here at home. Supporting 
American agriculture and our dairy industry will bring food costs down 
and provide stability to our global food supply.
  Thank you to our dairy farmers and manufacturers in the Central 
Valley and across the country for their contributions to our community. 
Happy Dairy Month.
