Southeast Arkansas Agricultural Cooperative and Multicultural Education Initiative
This project plans to provide a market platform for rice growers producing premium rice that is certified sustainably grown. Participating farmers may earn a premium and save in variable crop expenses.
The program will work with 11 rice producers, eight of whom are historically underserved in southeast Arkansas, said Jessica Whitaker Allen with Whitaker Grain.
The majority of project funding will go toward creating and establishing an agricultural apprenticeship program at a minority-serving institution, specifically the University of Arkansas at Monticello College of Technology in McGehee.
The program will also provide funding to help historically underserved producers implement sustainable farming practices.
