Today, Secretary @Wes Ward had the privilege of speaking to Leadership Arkansas Class XIX during Session III: Agriculture, Conservation & Outdoor Life in Stuttgart. As Arkansas’s No. 1 industry, agriculture is essential to our state’s economy. With more than 37,400 farms covering 13.7 million acres, agriculture contributes over $24.3 billion annually and provides 1 in 7 jobs across the state. #LeadershipArkansas
