Serving all of Prairie County and the Grand Prairie
Hamilton selected for Riceland Board of Directors Riceland members from the North Grand Prairie District recently selected John Hamilton to be their representative on the Riceland Foods Board of Directors. Hamilton farms rice and soybeans on an Arkansas Century Farm near Griffithville, Ark. “I am truly honored and humbled for this opportunity to serve the Riceland membership,” Hamilton said. “My family has farmed rice since the 1950’s, and I look forward to being part of the team to take Riceland into the future.” Hamilton will replace Keith Watkins, who is retiring from the board after 31 years of service. Watkins was first elected to the board in 1990 as the representative from the North Grand Prairie District. Riceland’s Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors Rich Hillman said it has been a pleasure to serve with Watkins. “Keith’s great insights and turn row common sense were a great addition to our team, and Riceland Foods is a stronger cooperative because of his service,” Hillman said. Hamilton is a 1997 graduate of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville with a degree in Agricultural Business and a minor in Agronomy. He is also active with White County Farm Bureau Board of Directors, AgHeritage Farm Credit Nominating Committee and the Arkansas Wheat Promotion Board. John, his wife Mikki and their sons John David and Jim live in Searcy. His service with the board of directors will begin at the May 2022 meeting.
