  Mr. ESTES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mid-Kansas 
Cooperative being honored as the Agricultural Retailers Association 
Retailer of the Year. I am incredibly proud that MKC's commitment to 
their customers and dedication to their community is being recognized.
  MKC is a full-service farm cooperative offering a complete line of 
products, programs, and services for farm and urban customers 
throughout Kansas. The cooperative has more than 11,000 members and 
8,000 customers, and their connection to my district and constituents 
is deep and stretches back decades. MKC has several large-scale 
facilities serving the farmers and customers of the 4th district, 
including their recently opened executive leadership office in Wichita. 
MKC's continued investment in the district provides good jobs and new 
markets for the world-class agricultural products grown in Kansas.
  The Agricultural Retailers Association's Retailer of the Year award 
is given to the agricultural retailer who goes above and beyond in 
environmental stewardship, community leadership, customer engagement 
and employee relations. MKC works tirelessly to ensure that it gives 
the highest level of service in all of

hard work and wish them continued success.
