Rice is powering more than you might think. 🌾

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Robbins, Executive Director of Arkansas Rice, to talk about the people, programs, and advocacy behind one of Arkansas’s most important industries.

We talk about Rice Month, Rice in Schools, scholarship programs, the Rice Reps program, and how Arkansas Rice supports farmers and the industry across the state. Kelly also shares what declining rice acreage means for farmers and why advocacy and support for the rice industry matter now more than ever.

If you care about agriculture, rural communities, food security, or the future of Arkansas farming, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation and come away with a better understanding of why rice matters to Arkansas.
