KINLEY FARM RECEIVES CENTENNIAL DESIGNATION
(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 to recognize the
Kinley family's Pennsylvania Centennial Farm designation.
For over 100 years, the Kinley beef farm has operated in Cogan
Station, Lycoming County. This farm has been more than a source of
livelihood. It has been a legacy of hard work, dedication, and love for
the land.
When Samuel Kinley first purchased this 106-acre farm in 1904, he
likely couldn't have imagined that his vision and determination would
span five generations. From Samuel's hands to Adam and Shannon Kinley's
stewardship today, this farm has been a cornerstone of Lycoming County
agricultural heritage.
Our producers are the backbone of our Nation. They work tirelessly
every day to feed, fuel, and clothe the world. Farms like the Kinleys
remind us that agriculture is not just about feeding our families
today. It is about sowing the seeds for future generations.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the Kinleys for their contributions to the
community and to Pennsylvania agriculture.
