CONGRATULATING OREGON WHEAT GROWERS' LEAGUE ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 108 (Monday, June 29, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 108 (Monday, June 29, 2026)] [House] [Page H4268] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING OREGON WHEAT GROWERS' LEAGUE ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY (Mr. BENTZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. BENTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Oregon Wheat Growers' League on its 100-year anniversary. Since its inception in 1926, the Wheat Growers' League has supported, encouraged, and promoted the production of wheat, one of the most important sources of nutrition in the world. Over the past 100 years, the League has transformed the individual voices of wheat farmers into a formidable and effective political organization. The League's advocacy is essential because Oregon's agricultural sector continues to face serious challenges, including skyrocketing fertilizer and energy costs, market uncertainty, severe drought, and misguided regulation. Again, congratulations to the Oregon Wheat Growers' League on reaching its 100th year. I thank the generations of producers, families, and local leaders who helped build and maintain this successful and essential organization. I look forward to working with all of them as we build a brighter future for Oregon's wheat producers. ____________________
