Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Ark.,
for the event.
Casey Cowan, director of Client

much needed protein to the neighbors
they serve. With grocery prices at such a
premium these days, Tyson's donation will
give our partner agencies a break in their
food budget. "
Spanning nearly
5,000 square feet,
the new feed mill
will feature grinding,
batching, pelletizing
and bagging systems

" Every aspect of the
poultry business,
from educational
leadership to scientific
research, is positively
impacted by the MSU
program, and we're
glad to do our part. "
