In this episode of Food, Farms & Forests, Dr. Tim Burcham joins us to discuss the recently completed Northeast Rice Research and Extension Center — also known as NERREC. Dr. Burcham shares NERREC's mission to help farmers achieve greater profitability and sustainability and to educate the public about the importance of rice and agriculture in Arkansas.
He discusses the significance of NERREC's location and agronomic characteristics, the importance of sustainability in rice production, and highlights some of the educational aims of the Center.
