Missouri Beef Industry Council hires new Manager of Industry Relations

(COLUMBIA, MO) --- Allison Troesser joins Missouri Beef Industry as their Manager of Industry Relations. 

The Missouri Beef Industry Council (MBIC) welcomes Allison Troesser as its Manager of Industry Relations. Joining the team with a wealth of knowledge and “boots-on” experience in the agriculture industry, Allison is passionate about advocating on behalf of the beef industry and being a strong voice for our state’s cattle farmers and ranchers. 

“I am excited to have Allison join the MBIC team as our manager of industry relations. Her relationship with industry partners and strong background in outreach will bring value to the producer arm of our team,” said Sydney Thummel, MBIC Executive Director. “We are responsible for communicating with our producer stakeholders about the work the council does to promote and drive demand for beef. Allison’s production experience combined with her communications strengths, will make her an asset to MBIC.”

Allison grew up on her family’s diversified agriculture farm in central Missouri prior to attending college at Oklahoma State University where she received a Bachelor of Animal Science and minor in food science. Following her formal education, she worked as a Marketing Assistant at Minitube USA in Wisconsin before making the decision to return to Missouri. The knowledge and skillset she has gained from her previous experiences will allow her to collaborate with, influence, and motivate stakeholders, industry leaders, and consumers, alike.

“I am beyond excited to join a dynamic team that advocates for beef producers in the great Show-Me State! Having the opportunity to use my communication skills combined with my passion for the animal agriculture industry is a dream,” said Troesser. “I look forward to building relationships with producers from around the state to help promote beef. After all, it’s what’s for dinner!"  

Troesser will officially join the Missouri Beef Industry Council team on Thursday, May 2.

About the Beef Checkoff 

The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States may retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval. 


 The Missouri Beef Industry Council (MBIC) is a non-profit organization working on behalf of Missouri’s beef and dairy farmers and ranchers. The Missouri Beef Industry Council administers the Beef Checkoff program in Missouri which funds promotion, education, and research programs. The MBIC vision is to have a strong and viable beef industry in Missouri. The MBIC mission is to improve the demand for beef. The MBIC priority is to promote and strengthen beef’s value proposition, grow consumer trust in beef and beef production, protect and enhance the business climate for beef, and drive growth in beef exports.
