Burgers’ Smokehouse recently pledged $100,000 to the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources in support of a new meats education and training center through its E.M. Burger Foundation. The building, which will be constructed on the east side of campus, will serve students and faculty in both the college’s animal sciences and food science programs. This is the first donation for this effort.
The facility will enhance the education and training of both undergraduate and graduate students preparing for careers in the meat animal industry. It will also continue a tradition of providing valuable information to producers, processors, consumers, regulators and health officials both within state borders and beyond.
