              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.
