KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Danny Dupree, vice president of operations at Bar-S Foods Co., has been recognized by MEAT+POULTRY as its Operations Executive of the Year. A 33-year veteran of Bar-S Foods Company, Dupree’s career with the firm began in the accounting department, assuming a variety of positions before focusing his attention on the operations side of the business.

Timothy Day, founder of Bar-S, said Dupree’s knowledge of finance has served him well in his current role.


“Danny has a background in accounting and quickly grasped the financial elements of a manufacturing operation. He was able to use this knowledge to isolate and address areas that were not in control or were excessively expensive,” Day said. “Bar-S is blessed to have Danny as our senior officer overseeing operations.”
