About 50% of Arkansas' population live in rural areas. Farm and ranch families are an integral part of the fabric of most small communities. Their occupation allows them to fulfill other citizenship responsibilities.
|
|
99% of U.S. farms are owned by individuals, family parterships, or family corporations.
|
|
In most communities and rural areas, one will find farm and ranch families actively involved in community, civic, church, school, and humanitarian activities.
|
|
Many farmers and ranchers are also members of various farm and commodity organizations, producer cooperatives, and related trade associations.
|
|
In general, farmers and ranchers are active in the political process at the local, state, and national level. Source: Natural Resources Conservation Service
