We are proud to announce that Joseph and Elizabeth Stacks have been selected as the 2026 Columbia County Farm Bureau Farm Family of the Year. The Stacks Family operates Stacks Family Farms in Taylor, where they run a diverse and growing operation that includes a cow calf herd, sheep program, and hay production.

Their livestock program is built on quality and intentional management. The family markets calves and breeding stock through a combination of private treaty sales and local livestock auctions, and they raise 50–80 lambs annually for seed stock, show projects, and farm to table sales. They also maintain honeybee hives for pollination and small batch honey production, and they utilize dairy goats and nurse cows to efficiently raise orphan lambs and calves.

Agriculture is a family effort for the Stacks. Their children, Julieann and Holland, are involved in FFA, 4 H, showing livestock, and agricultural leadership. Julieann recently served as the 2025–2026 Arkansas FFA State President, and Holland is the current Taylor FFA Chapter President. Both have earned numerous agricultural honors and each continues to build impressive Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs. Beyond FFA, they are active in their church, community leadership programs, and junior livestock associations.

The Stacks family began their farming journey in 2018 with a desire to raise their children around livestock and agricultural values. What started with 24 acres and a small group of sheep has grown into a multifaceted, well managed operation built on hard work, innovation, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Please join us in congratulating the Stacks family on this well-deserved honor.

Watching our baby chicks hatch this week served as a perfect reminder of Easter's message of life and hope. Happy Easter from Columbia County Farm Bureau!

In just 21 days, we had the opportunity to highlight agriculture at Cornerstone Childcare Center by hatching eggs with their pre-k class. Here are some of the highlights and what students learned from their Ag in the Classroom experience.

Thank you again to the Arkansas Farm Bureau Foundation for the grant that made this project possible. Comment and let us know which school or class we should visit next!

Small tabs. Big impact!

This year, the Columbia County Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee challenged our local FFA chapters to collect pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Arkansas & North Louisiana, and they showed up in a big way.

Those tiny tabs may not look like much, but when recycled, they’re turned into funds that help support families staying at the Ronald McDonald House during some of their toughest days. It’s a simple way to make a real difference.

A big congratulations to Magnolia Agriculture Education and FFA for collecting the most pop tabs and winning a pizza party for their chapter. We’re proud of all our FFA students who participated and gave back to families in need.

Thank you for proving that even the smallest efforts can have a big impact.
