This week was a busy one in #ar4. The Daughters of the American Revolution rededicated a section of the Ouachita National Forest while Gov. @AsaHutchinson held a town hall in Hot Springs and the @GHSChamber hosted its annual appreciation dinner for Arkansas Highway Commissioners.pic.twitter.com/60ERISUDO0

I had the honor of meeting w/social studies students at Alma High today and answering their questions on current events. I also visited with principals from the district to commemorate National Principals Month. Thank you to principals across #ar4 who do so much for our students!pic.twitter.com/uxTQA8q9YF

I joined @RepMikeJohnson for a tour of Barksdale Air Force Base today, headquarters of the Air Force Global Strike Command. We toured the Second Bomb Wing, the oldest in the Air Force. It consists of 44 B-52 Stratoforce bombers. https://www.facebook.com/541157509352704/posts/1407675526034227/ …pic.twitter.com/dC4g2pXbKC

This week is National Forest Products Week. Wood products provide us with shelter, household materials, and packaging that we use daily. The forest product industry employs nearly 25,000 people in Arkansas in 95 different manufacturing facilities. #WorkingForestsWorkpic.twitter.com/L9vPG8OxlL

I spent the day with Shreveport-area @RepMikeJohnson. We first visited the Port of Caddo/Bossier and saw its success. I’m all, the port and the 17 businesses housed there employ 1,500 people. It is a success we should replicate further up the Red River... https://www.facebook.com/541157509352704/posts/1406872079447905/ …pic.twitter.com/fWuWn6G2Xc

This week, I traveled nearly 1,000 miles across the Fourth Congressional District on the annual #AR04AgTour. Agriculture and related industries drive the economy in our region and I was happy to meet with the men and women who make our ag economy function. #ARisAG #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/aU8D4CPHMw

The last stop on the #AR04AgTour was Davis Pecans. The family business employs about 25 and harvests 1 million pounds of pecans yearly. It is one of the many aspects of ag in #ar4 that may not be top of mind, but feeds families around the world w/high quality Arkansas pecans.pic.twitter.com/E00gs2qGJI

The#AR04AgTour continues w/a roundtable discussion of the feral hog problem in Hempstead Co. Invasive species create problems which need to be addressed, but often the gov is part of the problem. This has been a very informative discussion that will continue. #ARisAg #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/0rWvCjyNsI

It was an exciting afternoon for Dierks as we celebrated Weyerhaeuser’s expanded lumber mill and the role the forest product industry plays in Arkansas’ agricultural economy. This is an investment in Dierks and its citizens and an investment in the economy of #ar4. #AR04AgTourpic.twitter.com/AiIuOFOJnS

Cattle livestock are one of our state’s largest commodities. AR ranks 12th nationally in beef cows on farms w/inventory that exceeds 1.7 mil heads on more than 28,000 farms. Thanks to the Sullivans for allowing me to visit their operation in Grannis this morning. #AR04AgTour #ar4pic.twitter.com/9cajdeoK13

In Bentley Farm in Forum, we learned that more than a third of all turkeys consumed on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas come from #ar4. Farmers like Roxann Bentley raise the birds which make our holidays special. #AR04AgTour #ARisAg #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/xLCZTX9fDJ

Day two of the 2018 #AR04AgTour started at Sosebee’s Farm in Charleston. Owner Cody Sosebee raises goats, cattle, and other animals. Agritourism is an important part of the agricultural economy in #ar4, contributing millions of dollars in economic impact to cities and the state.pic.twitter.com/Kcrh8Xpync

I’m meeting with the working men and women of Fordyce, discussing my efforts to get the 2018 Farm Bill passed, as well as agricultural innovation and efforts to stop unfair trade practices by China which hurts Arkansas foresters. #ar04agtour #ARisAg #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/zzXn6oRvuk

At a meeting of Jefferson Co. Farm Bureau, I met with farmers from across the county. We discussed some of this year’s struggles with factors such as the weather, but we also discussed areas of hope for Arkansas farmers... https://www.facebook.com/541157509352704/posts/1401067606695019/ … #AR04AgTour #ARisAG #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/YVKawjGRQ4

The first stop on the 2018 Ag Tour was Bryan Boyd Farm in Moscow. Bryan and his partners shared with me the challenges they have faced this year, with weather delaying the harvest of crops such as cotton and soybeans. #AR04AgTour #ARisAG #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/jsvV4s7QwQ

I just arrived in Jefferson County for Day 1 of the 2018 Ag Tour. Use the hashtag #AR04AgTour to follow my journey through the Fourth District and explore the impact of agriculture on #ar4. #ARisAg #arkansasagpic.twitter.com/AWOYOVamrG

Exciting things are happening in #ar4. Just today, ground was broken on the new Pine Bluff-Jefferson County Library and the Highway 278 Bypass was opened in Drew County. These projects will benefit local communities and drive further development!pic.twitter.com/LMo3O5HLOH

I always enjoy meeting w/young people in #ar4. Today at Prescott High School, we discussed the Congressional Art Competition and the @CongressionalAC.

An organization doing wonderful work in #ar4 is Flywheel Pies. It has been a part of the Prescott community for more than 30 years, employing individuals with developmental disabilities. Employment at Flywheel gives these individuals valuable job skills and work experience.pic.twitter.com/cQSDhZtkDq
