Last week, Executive Director Regina Coleman attended the Agricultural Council of Arkansas Annual Board of Directors Meeting, joining agricultural leaders from across the state to discuss priorities impacting Arkansas producers.
The meeting included remarks from Ag Council of Arkansas President and ABWEP Chairman Joe Mencer, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, Fitzhugh Elder, staff director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Wes Ward, Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture, and many more. Key discussions focused on implementation and awareness of the $12 billion Farmers Bridge Assistance Program and other issues critical to Arkansas farmers.
These conversations help ensure growers have access to the resources and support needed to navigate ongoing economic and production challenges.
