“I want to congratulate Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy on its 80th anniversary. It started as a small family farm in Wisconsin and has grown to employ more than 150 people.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy as it celebrates its 80th anniversary. Founded in 1946 by Carl and Garnet Pagel, Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy began with just eight milking cows on their family homestead in Kewaunee County. What started as a small family farm has grown across generations into one of northeastern Wisconsin’s most respected dairy operations. Over the last 80 years, the Pagel family has helped strengthen Wisconsin’s proud dairy tradition. Under their stewardship, Pagel’s Ponderosa currently milks thousands of cows, employs more than 150 people, and remains a leader in northeastern Wisconsin’s agriculture and dairy industries. The Pagel family continues to maintain a strong commitment to caring for their animals, land, employees, and their community, reflecting the very best of northeastern Wisconsin agriculture. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy on 80 years of hard work and service to the Kewaunee community in northeastern Wisconsin. I wish them continued success for many generations to come.”
