Bill > HJR714

This concurrent resolution commends the Virginia Poultry Federation (VPF) on its upcoming 100th anniversary in 2025, recognizing its significant contributions to Virginia's agricultural sector. The resolution highlights the federation's origins, tracing back to a 1925 Poultry Field Day at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and acknowledges its role in representing all poultry industry sectors, including farmers, processors, and supporting businesses. The VPF is praised for advancing its mission through government relations, youth programs, and educational activities, and for supporting an industry that now includes over 1,000 family-owned farms, generates more than 60,000 jobs, and contributes over $17 billion to Virginia's economy. The resolution formally commends the organization and directs the House of Delegates' Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to the Virginia Poultry Federation as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration for its longstanding service and economic impact.
