Both the state and federal governments are putting money into the meat processing supply chain through education programs and expansion grants. Justin Corman is the general manager of Wilson Farm Meats in Elkhorn. He tells Mid-West Farm Report he’s looking forward to the high school meat science curriculum to be offered statewide this spring to boost the next generation of workers. Wilson Farm Meats could double the amount of staff they have and they still wouldn’t be able to keep up with demand. UW-River Falls will begin piloting a meat processing program for high schools in January. Looking ahead, Wilson Farm Meats received the latest expansion grant from the state. Corman says as soon as the contract is released, they’ll purchase more processing equipment and grow the cooler space.
