Barren County High School Meat Processing

Author: Gregg Rentfrow

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Dr. Andy Moore, Agriscience Teacher at Barren County High School, reached out to me for help designing and remodeling an area on the property to teach meat processing.  We met in July 2023, at Barren County High School, to assess the location and I offered design suggestions as well as local companies that sell meat processing equipment.  There appears to more interest among students to learn a trade and Dr. Moore's curriculum in Barren County could be an opportunity for more students to become interested in meat processing.  We continue to communicate.
