Abstract: Our analysis found that agriculture is responsible for approximately 17% of jobs, labor income and value added in the state. More than half of the contributions accrue in nonagricultural sectors. Continued strength of agriculture is of paramount importance to maintain the social and economic fabric of rural Arkansas communities.
