Kentucky Association of Meat Processors
Author: Gregg Rentfrow
Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences
Major Program: Local Food Systems
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The original Kentucky Meat Processors Association disbanded in the mid-1980's. I have worked with other meat processor associations throughout the country and have seen the benefit of having organized meat processors. I have been working with meat processors in Kentucky to re-establish an association. We hosted a day workshop for meat processors that covered economic development, food safety and the benefit of environmental testing, proper stunning techniques, and new beef cuts. In addition, we discussed the benefit of reforming the Kentucky Association of Meat Processors. This program is just beginning, so the initial success is yet to be seen, but the meat processors are interested in organizing and more workshops are planned for the future.
