The Arkansas Agriculture Hall of Fame announced plans to induct six new inductees in its 2021 class (its 34th class). The mission of the Arkansas Agriculture Hall of Fame is to build public awareness of agriculture and to formally recognize and honor individuals whose efforts have led to the prosperity of local communities and the state. The Agriculture Council of Arkansas participates in the selection committee. The time and date of the 2021 induction ceremonies is not currently set due to the ongoing pandemic, but the traditional timeframe of early March has been postponed for a later date.
2021 inductees include retired Cooperative Extension Service Director Rick Cartwright of Fayetteville; long-time ag educator Joe Don Greenwood of Hermitage; the late Russell Roy Reynolds, the director of the U.S. Forest Service Crossett Experimental Forest for 34 years; former Arkansas Farm Bureau President Randy Veach of Manila; Mark Waldrip of Moro, founder of Armor Seed Company; and Andrew Wargo III of Watson, farm manager for the 15,000-acre Baxter Land Company for more than 50 years.
