USA Rice Farmers

The Rice Farmers’ Advocate

USA Rice Farmers (formally U.S. Rice Producers' Group and later USA Rice Producers' Group) is one of three charter members of the USA Rice Federation.  USA Rice Farmers is composed entirely of rice farmers from Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas.  This representative body ensures a forum for policy development on issues that affect rice farmers, and a voice for rice farmers to advance and implement activities to address those issues.

Board of Directors

• The Board of Directors consists of at least eight farmers from each rice state. 
  • Each rice farmer state organization selects directors to represent that state.
• The members are elected to serve for a one year term. 
• Voting is state by state; one vote per state.
• Meetings are held in conjunction with USA Rice Federation annual meetings.
