Leaders from Michigan State University and southern Michigan visited two Branch County animal farms on July 14 to speak with agriculture professionals about their operations and how MSU can continue to support others like them.
Owners of Great Lake Sire Service (GLSS) and Preston Farms conversed with the visitors representing Michigan agricultural, educational and legislative sectors before taking them on tours of each of their facilities.
MSU routinely collaborates with farmers to address areas of concern and to help maintain academic, research and outreach success as part of Michigan’s food and agriculture industry, which annually generates $104.7 billion for the economy.
“Our college is at its best when we’re carrying out the land-grant mission in partnership with Michigan’s farmers and agricultural leaders,” said Kelly Millenbah, dean of MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR). “We were all honored to receive such hospitality from GLSS and Preston Farms.”
