Often so Come in and try them all The Scoop on Buck's Mizzou Ice Cream Buck's Ice Cream Place is here to provide Premium Quality Ice Cream to students, alumni, university employees and friends of the university. Buck's brought an ice cream sales outlet back to the campus in 1989 that had disappeared in 1972 when funding cuts forced the closing of the MU Dairy Plant. It's a part of a larger program of research, teaching and service. Retired from rewarding careers in the ice cream industry MU graduates Wendell and Ruth Arbuckle remembered the opportunities MU had given them and in 1987 with the guidance of the faculty of the Food Science and Human Nutrition department and administrators of the College of Agriculture they established an endowment. Today, Buck's is a student-run project.
Students make and sell the ice cream under the supervision of a faculty member.
