Arkansas
Resources for Value-Added Diversification



Arkansas is the only major agricultural state which has no program to encourage ethanol production. Arkansas is losing all its dairies one by one. More generally, Arkansas is the only state without a state program to facilitate value-added diversification. Several state legislators are working to develop such programs.

Find your Senator or Representative through the map or alphabetical lists on the Legislature's website Legislature's website.



Despite the lack of state programs, a number of individuals can help you create new rural enterprises:
