Welcome to Field Good Life!
Hey y’all! I’m Jennifer James, a fourth generation farmer from northeast Arkansas making my way through the world of US agriculture. I am passionate about advocating for farmers and educating consumers and policy makers about the benefits of a strong US ag economy and most specifically the US and Arkansas rice industry. US farmers are doing it more efficiently and more sustainably than the rest of the world. I love to tell my story in agriculture in ways everyone understands.
Go to my speaker page to inquire about me heading up your next ag event!
Follow along here to learn about managing a family farm, small town life, advocating for ag, and ways to incorporate US grown rice in your diet.
I am living my Field Good Life!
