After 23 years, Mary Hightower is stepping down as the voice behind the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture—but her impact is here to stay. She transformed how Arkansas agriculture tells its story, connecting local agents and media, and making sure the hard work of our farmers and researchers gets the spotlight it deserves. Her journey from childhood neighborhood reporter to award-winning communicator is a reminder of how much one person can shape a community’s story. What changes have you noticed in local ag news over the years? How do you think her work will influence the next generation? #Business #Arkansas #Agriculture
