       Whereas the American Farm Bureau was created in 1919 to 
     disseminate college research results to farmers;
       Whereas, since 1919, the American Farm Bureau has since 
     grown into one of the strongest advocacy organizations in the 
     United States, with 6,000,000 members and affiliated services 
     and member benefits that include highly respected insurance 
     companies;
       Whereas the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation was 
     officially chartered on October 30, 1922, in Jackson, 
     Mississippi, as a proud state affiliate of the American Farm 
     Bureau;
       Whereas C.L. Neill of Jones County was elected as the first 
     president of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation;
       Whereas the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation is a strong 
     voice of agriculture for farmers, ranchers, and rural 
     Mississippians;

[[Page S6769]]

       Whereas the mission of the Mississippi Farm Bureau 
     Federation is to create an environment in which Mississippi 
     farmers, ranchers, and Farm Bureau members can have a better 
     life and make a better living; and
       Whereas October 30, 2022, marks the 100th anniversary of 
     the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) celebrates October 30, 2022, as the 100th anniversary 
     of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation; and
       (2) commemorates the history, effective advocacy, and 
     contributions to agriculture in Mississippi of the 
     Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation.
