MISSION STATEMENT
The Hugo Wurdack Farm will conduct demonstrations and research in integrated
livestock, forages, forestry, and wildlife management practices that are economically viable,
environmentally sound, and sociologically acceptable for the Ozark Region of Missouri.
The Wurdack Farm is operated using Best Management Practices and provides educational information
on a wide range of agricultural, natural resource, and scientific topics to area beef and
forage producers, soil and water district members, students from elementary and secondary schools,
and other interested groups. Farm activities emphasize management practices that promote sustainable
agricultural production while protecting the natural environment and the quality of life for
citizens of Missouri's Ozark region.
The Wurdack Farm is unique to the University of Missouri system and has been
called one of the "crown jewels in the University's collection" by Larry Harper, editor
of the Missouri Ruralist (Missouri Scene, November 1991). Because of the diversity of
the farm and the fact it is typical of the Ozarks, numerous outreach activities utilizing the
strengths gained from extension and research programs conducted on the farm are being
realized. The true strength of the farm is it's integrated farming system utilizing a
holistic management approach to address concerns and problems experienced by
agricultural producers of the Ozark Region of Missouri.
