About
The Michigan State University Spartan Hub was the first university recognized as a Savory Hub in 2015. The Spartan Hub is based out of the Lake City Research Center (LCRC), founded in 1928.
The Lake City Research Center includes 810 acres of managed land and 180 beef cows in a geographic area suitable for forage-based livestock enterprises, potato, and bioenergy crop production.
The center is a leader in grazing and grassfed beef research and outreach. The faculty’s research at Lake City focuses on forage and beef production systems that are holistic, sustainable, and profitable.
The center’s mission is to bring about practical, common-sense solutions to agricultural sustainability obstacles using research- and knowledge-based problem-solving with the assistance of industry partners and the community.
As part of this mission, the Spartan Hub provides scientific advice to the Savory Institute and the Hub Network.
