The new headquarters building will serve as a rice research and education hub, featuring offices, labs, a demonstration kitchen, and public meeting spaces.

The Northeast Rice Research and Extension Center is the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture’s newest agricultural  research and extension center. It will focus on rice production practices that maximize farm income while conserving natural resources. Located west of Crowley’s Ridge on Henry Silt Loam soils found in this rice production area of the Arkansas Delta, the new center will provide rice producers on these unique soils with much needed research-based information.

The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is an equal opportunity/equal access/affirmative action institution. If you require reasonable accommodation to participate or need materials in another format, please contact Tim Burcham by email or phone (870-586-6236) as soon as possible.
