Rice College is held in an every-other-year rotation with Soybean College.

Unlike a regular field day, “this is an opportunity for industry professionals to take part in hands-on demonstrations,” said Jarrod Hardke, extension rice agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. “Our faculty will be showing current research and demonstrations on the challenges we see Arkansas rice producers face every day.
