Did you know that agriculture is Arkansas’ largest industry, adding about $16 billion to the state’s economy annually? We were excited to catch up with Senator Boozman and staff to talk about agriculture in Arkansas – where we proudly manage over 46k acres of farmland (and more than 16k acres of timberland) – and share the good work that our team members are doing every day on the ground. This was a great opportunity for the leaders of our agriculture and timberland businesses to come together and highlight the value we bring to the lands we manage and the people we impact every day.
