About the Station....
The University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) has dedicated nearly a century of service to Arkansas agriculture and its people. The Center’s beginnings date to 1925 when a group of rice farmers recognized the need for research-based information to answer specific production problems. The Center serves as the focal point for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture’s applied rice research and education programs and is nationally and internationally recognized for the practical solutions to producers’ problems obtained by our faculty.

A state-of-the-art Foundation Seed Processing Facility was completed in 2016, allowing us to continue to provide the highest quality Foundation grade rice, soybean and wheat seed to Arkansas seed growers. Our facilities include greenhouses, laboratories, a shop, an equipment storage shed, and a chemical mixing facility.
