                    RECOGNIZING PINE CREEK SEED FARM

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Chris and Jenni McCracken from Clinton County, as their business, Pine 
Creek Seed Farm, was honored as the Eastern Pennsylvania Family-Owned 
Small Business of the Year for 2024 by the U.S. Small Business 
Administration's Eastern Pennsylvania District Office.
  Pine Creek Seed Farm stands out with its comprehensive range of seed 
processing, mixing and blending, and distribution services. These 
services are uniquely tailored to customer specifications to ensure the 
delivery of high-quality seed at every stage in the distribution chain.
  Family-owned small businesses like Pine Creek Seed Farm are the 
cornerstone of communities throughout Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional 
District and play a central role in building a strong community, 
Commonwealth, and country.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Pine Creek Seed Farm on receiving this 
well-deserved award and thank them for their contribution to our 
community and to rural America.
  It is my honor to represent family-owned small businesses such as 
Pine Creek Seed Farm in the Halls of Congress as the chairman of the 
House Committee on Agriculture.
