About the MEAT INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME
The MEAT INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME was created in 2008 as a repository of our history and a shrine to the leaders and legends whose visions, skills and dedication shaped and sustained our industry and to recognize its place as the leading sector of North American food production. We have inducted 72 of our most distinguished leaders and are currently planning on creating a permanent home to honor their accomplishments.
