Young Agriculture Entrepreneur Guiding Bittel Heritage Meats

Daviess County native George Bittel is on track to graduate from Murray State University in December with an agri-business degree. But the 21-year-old, a budding entrepreneur, won't be job hunting when he leaves MSU.

Bittel already operates an up-and-coming agriculture business that he helped found — Bittel Heritage Meats LLC, which produces and sells pork products from hogs grown in Daviess County on Bittel Farms.

In just a couple of years, Bittel Heritage Meats has developed a foothold in the local meat market, selling to individuals, a few restaurants and grocery stores, and even to the Daviess County school district.

Bittel has been working with pigs since he was a child.
