MILLIN FAMILY FARM RECEIVES CENTURY FARM DESIGNATION
(Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the
Millin family, located in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. The Millin
family owns the Millin Family Farm. It has received the designation of
a Century Farm from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
A Century Farm is a farm that has been owned by the same family for
at least 100 consecutive years, has a family member who still lives on
that farm, and has at least 10 acres of the original holding.
The Millin family has farmed in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, since
1874, when Sandra Millin's great-grandfather purchased the property.
Today, the Millins manage an over-200-acre grain operation on that
exact same land. They even have the farm's original log structure
dating to pre-1874.
On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District,
I offer heartfelt congratulations to the Millin family and express
gratitude for their enduring commitment to one of Pennsylvania's most
vital industries: agriculture.
