  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable 
milestone for a family-run business that has been a cornerstone of 
Indiana agriculture for a century, Creighton Brothers LLC.
  This year, Creighton Brothers is celebrating 100 years in business, a 
legacy that began in 1925 when Hobart and Russell Creighton started a 
modest egg operation with just 2,500 hens.
  Over the last century, this operation has grown into one of the most 
respected and vertically integrated egg producers in the country, with 
more than 3 million laying hens, feed production on 10,000 acres of 
farmland, and distribution to customers nationwide.
  What makes this story truly special isn't just the scale of their 
growth, but the fact that

Creighton Brothers is still proudly family-owned. Today, over 180 
family members are connected to the business; such a level of 
generational commitment is rare, and it speaks volumes about the values 
on which this company was built.
  Over the years, Creighton Brothers has faced its fair share of 
challenges. Still, through it all, they've stuck to their principles: 
producing safe, high-quality food, caring for their employees, and 
supporting the local community.
  Just last month, the town of Mentone honored Creighton Brothers as 
the Grand Marshal of the Egg Festival Parade, celebrating ``100 Years 
of Egg-cellence.'' It's clear how deeply rooted this business is in our 
community, and we take immense pride in their success.
  As we reflect on what it takes to keep a business running strong for 
100 years, we see that it requires hard work, innovation, and an 
unshakable commitment to people. I want to congratulate everyone at 
Creighton Brothers on achieving this remarkable milestone.
  Here's to the next 100 years of continued success.
