editor’s NOTE
by fred wilkinson
In this issue, we celebrate the Meat Industry Hall of Fame’s newly inducted Class of 2023. Past inductees along with family members, students, friends and colleagues of this year’s inductees gathered Aug. 2, 2024, in Omaha, Neb., to honor the Class of 2023, marking the induction ceremony’s return to an in-person event for the first time since the pandemic.
This year’s inductees represent a broad array of industry categories: industry, academia, government. And to say that the Class of 2023’s Posthumous Inductee is a household name would be to undersell the iconic status our inductee’s name holds in the history of American food.
Don’t miss Associate Group Editor Sammy Bredar’s profiles of this year’s inductees to the Meat Industry Hall of Fame.
Also, check out some photos from the induction ceremony in our AAMP Convention Review in Independent Processor.
