RECOGNIZING THE NATIONAL GRAIN AND FEED ASSOCIATION
(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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National Grain and Feed Association as they celebrate 125 years of supporting every facet of the agricultural value chain.
Established as one of the first industry-based arbitration systems in North America, NGFA has transformed American farmers' bounties into safe, nutrition, sustainable, and affordable human and animal food.
The National Grain and Feed Association is a nonprofit trade association that serves more than 1,000 companies and 7,500 facilities. They continue to advocate for grain, feed, and processing interests of the complete value chain and promote the competitiveness of the United States of America.
In order to recognize this great achievement, House Agriculture Committee Chairman David Scott and I introduced a resolution celebrating the 125th anniversary celebrating the efforts of the NGFA in transforming the American farmer's bounty.
Madam Speaker, the National Grain and Feed Association has longstanding history and notoriety for their continual efforts toward supporting American producers and ensuring their competitiveness in agriculture.
Madam Speaker, I want to say congratulations on 125 years.
