Associate Vice President - Agriculture and Natural Resources
Agriculture is a $16 billion dollar industry in Arkansas, responsible for one in every six jobs in the state. And this industry is very diverse, with our state ranking in top 25 production of 24 different ag commodities, from rice (#1) to hogs (#24). Arkansas is also one of the most beautiful states, blessed with abundant soil, water, forest and other natural resources that complement agriculture and our overall quality of life.
