People in the meat processing industry in Montana have known for
a long time that one of their bolenecks was qualified labor. e
job takes skill, knowledge, and a willingness to work hard.
Employees of Pioneer Meats in Big Timber, Montana work on the cutting floor. Owner Brian Engle says that even five to six years ago,
there were more meat processing plants in Montana but a big reason a lot of those plants were shutting down was because of lack of
skilled meat cutters. A new program at Miles Community College in Miles City, MT hopes to change that.
