Rec. E153 Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 35 (Monday, February 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 35 (Monday, February 23, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E153] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] RECOGNIZING ROHRER SEEDS FOR THEIR CENTURY OF SERVICE _____ HON. LLOYD SMUCKER of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Monday, February 23, 2026 Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate Rohrer Seeds, of Smoketown in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for over a century in business. Rohrer Seeds began in 1919 when P.L. Rohrer bought the business he worked for and introduced a mail-order seed catalog. Four years later, P.L. Rohrer built the company's retail store and headquarters in Smoketown, where it remains to this day. What began as a small seed store has since adapted to the changes in both the market and in Lancaster County. While the customer base was once mostly agricultural, Rohrer Seeds shifted and found success in gardening and lawncare. Today, Rohrer Seeds sells hundreds of different kinds of seeds, alongside gardening and lawn supplies, to customers and other businesses. Their original service, the mail order catalogue, is still released annually and attracts customers from across the region. Rohrer Seeds continues to be family-owned and is led by P.L. Rohrer's great-grandson, Doug Rohrer. Few businesses can say they have lasted a century, and even fewer can say that they have remained family owned during that time. I congratulate Rohrer Seeds for their longevity, and I appreciate the services that they have provided to generations of constituents. I wish them another century of success. ____________________
