They have a fun bar scene and a great architecture school, I'm sure those are the only two reasons anyone is choosing them.

Milling - that is what I wrote.  The science of milling grain type products.  Slow down and read carefully.

Makes sense they are in America’s breadbasket.

Milling grain in a large scale is not a simple procedure. I can see the need for programs in this area and demand for graduates. I assume then that the mining programs are to be found in Colorado or Nevada.

Makes absolute sense, Missouri was historically more of a mining and river commerce State than an agricultural State.

Lead Mining is due to make a comeback any day now in Missouri.

Nope, try the past tense, had. The Herculanum smelter was closed around 7 years ago I believe.

One of Missouri's State Parks, the Powerhouse museum at 4000 State Hwy 32 by Park Hills MO, is at the site of the exhausted St. Joseph lead mine and displays the history of lead mining in MO. We took the tour, and were told that the last lead smelter in the US, the one in Herculanum, had been closed by executive order by the Obama administration.

I have not visited the smelter or know if they are open for tours, but I believe the MO State parks information is more reliable than Google's, particularly since this state park is charged with presenting the history  of the lead mining industry in the state.

Big time Cliff Claven energy in this recruiting thread.

Mark me as another one who never watched Cheers - I stopped watching much TV after HS, but you would still want me on your trivia team.
