Donate to the Eldon Cole Memorial Fund
For 58 years, Eldon Cole put the best ideals of MU Extension into daily practice. Through his deep knowledge of the industry and his ability to communicate and listen to his agriculture clients, he became one of the most well-regarded livestock specialists in the state. In honor of Eldon’s legacy, a new state-of-the-art livestock handling facility under construction at the Southwest Research, Extension and Education Center in Mount Vernon has been officially named the Eldon Cole MU Livestock Facility. Contributions will go toward the endowment to sustain operations and provide programming.
