Over the last couple of weeks I have had the pleasure to sit in on some amazing talks and meetings. Got to hear from Sarah Huckabee Sanders touch AR Rice and the things they are doing for our growers in the capitol. I’ve got to hear from Wes Ward with the Arkansas Department of Agriculture and hear about things going on with the Ag department and concerning our growers. Im so thankful for the support I get from Lonoke county to do everything I do. I try my best to learn for YOU Lonoke County!

Your row crop agent,
Trapper Padgett
