Some of the leftover chickens from Pure Prairie Poultry’s closing are headed for the dinner plate thanks to UW-River Falls students.
The students processed about 100 of the chickens. The original idea was to teach the students about agriculture, and show them how food comes into being. The plan was to then donate the meat to local food pantries, but the university doesn’t have the proper license. River Falls says it will instead sell the chicken meat, and donate the proceeds.
