ARKANSAS GROWN JUNE NEWSLETTER
™
Hot summer months are just one of the many challenges that farmers and ranchers must endure and overcome to provide the food that sustains our communities throughout the entire year. As we move through the summer, the Arkansas Agriculture Department will continue to support our state’s producers through the Arkansas Grown, Arkansas Made and Homegrown by Heroes programs. These programs help consumers more easily identify Arkansas grown food and products that are fresh, healthy, and help support our local economy. -Wes Ward Secretary of Agriculture
