Northeast Rice Research and Extension Center - Rice Discovery Program

This soon-to-be-built headquarters for The Northeast Rice Research and Extension Center is the newest research station in the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and is dedicated to not only developing innovative and efficient agricultural research but also providing educational opportunities for youth and adults across the state. So much so that they have dedicated an entire wing of the research station to being the “Rice Discovery Experience."

What learning opportunities are available?

The Rice Discovery Program offers a hands-on learning classroom with direct access to a greenhouse for year-round learning and is adjacent to a fully functional demonstration kitchen for cooking and tasting rice from around the world.

This hands-on program is dedicated to providing learning opportunities related to agriculture and natural resources with a unique focus on rice and rice production.
