Congratulations to the Mizzou College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) on the ribbon cutting of the new Michael L. Parson Meat Science Education and Training Laboratory!

This exciting investment in agricultural education, research and hands-on learning will help prepare the next generation of agricultural leaders while strengthening Missouri's livestock and meat industries for years to come.

It was wonderful to see several ALOT alumni in attendance for this milestone, including USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Fordyce (Class IX), Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn (Class XIII), Missouri Farm Bureau President Garrett Hawkins (Class XII), Missouri Pork Association Executive Director Scott Hays (Class VI), and Missouri Cattlemen's Association Executive Vice President Mike Deering (Class XIX), who each shared remarks during the celebration.

Congratulations to our friends and partners at Mizzou CAFNR on this incredible addition and continued investment in the future of Missouri agriculture!

Class XXI Said It Best
From agriculture in the city to policy, family dynamics, and new perspectives, Class XXI is already seeing the value of learning together and experiencing agriculture from every angle.

A HUGE thank you to the sponsors and teams who made the 3rd Annual ALOT Cup such a fun day!

Our Hole and Cart Sponsors helped bring the course to life and played an important part in making this event possible. We are incredibly grateful for the businesses, organizations and individuals who continue to invest in Missouri ALOT and the future of agricultural leadership.

We’re sharing a few highlights from the day and a look at the amazing sponsors and teams who supported this year’s ALOT Cup.

⛳️ We are incredibly grateful for our 3rd Annual ALOT Cup Hole Sponsors!

Tomorrow is tournament day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the businesses and organizations whose generous support helps make this event possible.

The ALOT Cup is about more than a day on the golf course. It’s about bringing people together, strengthening relationships, and investing in the next generation of leaders who will help shape the future of Missouri agriculture.

To each of our Hole Sponsors: thank you for believing in ALOT, supporting Missouri agriculture, and investing in agricultural leadership. Your partnership truly makes a difference.

We can’t wait to see everyone on the course tomorrow for a great day of golf and fellowship! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️

Please join us in thanking our incredible Hole Sponsors!

Class XXI takes on Kansas City!

ALOT Class XXI spent last week immersed in Kansas City, exploring the people, industries and leadership that help move Missouri forward.

From stepping into the White House Decision Center at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library to touring Ingredion and the BNSF Argentine Yard, the class gained firsthand insight into leadership, food manufacturing, transportation and the supply chain.

The experience continued at Farm Journal, where members heard from agriculture and industry leaders, followed by conversations with Kansas City civic leaders.

The class also explored food safety, traceability, nutrition, supply chain vulnerabilities and constructive feedback before getting an even closer look at Kansas City with KCPD, the River Market Farmers Market and an urban agriculture tour.

Three days. Countless conversations. New perspectives. And plenty of opportunities to connect agriculture, business, government and community.

That’s what ALOT is all about, learning together, building relationships and developing leaders who are ready to make a difference in Missouri.
