What a day for agriculture in our region.

Thank you to every sponsor, vendor, volunteer, and committee member who helped make the 2026 Ag Appreciation Expo a success. This event is a true partnership between the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and the Randolph County Chamber of Commerce, and it was incredible to see both counties come together in support of our agricultural community.

A special thank you to our friends at the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service for providing outstanding classroom sessions and speakers. The educational component of the Expo continues to be a highlight, and we are grateful for the expertise and leadership they bring each year.

Because of all of you, we were able to shine a spotlight on the businesses, producers, educators, and partners who fuel one of the most important industries in Lawrence and Randolph Counties.

The conversations, connections, and overall energy in the room made one thing clear. Agriculture is strong here. And the people behind it are even stronger.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for supporting agriculture. And thank you for helping us continue building momentum for our region’s future. 🌾
