Today at Isbell Farms we celebrate this man! The OG the man, the myth, the legend!
When I say that this man has shaped the face of farming, itโs completely true. He has done more for this industry than anyone I know. There are things possible today that never would have been without his insight and ingenuity.
But, if you asked him, it wouldnโt be his success in farming that heโs most proud of, but yet his family, friends and all those who love him like we do!
Join us today in celebrating 70 years of Chris! #isbellfarms #happybirthday
When you think about how your food gets to the table, do you even think about grain bins? Most of us donโt. Farm to table is a long road. This rice goes through planting, growing, harvesting, storage, hauling, milling, packaging, to the store shelf and finally to your houseโฆ itโs a long road. There are many steps, by many people, working hard behind the scenes to get that food to your plate.
Thereโs much more to farming than meets the eye.
Pray for us! ๐ itโs hot in these grain bins! ๐พ๐พ#isbellfarms #rice #arkansas #drinkrice

WARNINGโฆ vulnerable, honest, post alert.
Some days this is what farming looks like.
After spending time, money and energy planting a crop, and then watching torrential rains come to potentially wash it all awayโฆ after staying awake all night long watching the weather, rainfall accumulation, severe threatsโฆ then leaving early in the morning to check the water levels, the tractor fuel, the pumpsโฆ then coming home to watch the radar again.
Jeremy is just one of many farmers doing that today. Our entire crew is feeling the weight of this weather event. Our neighbors are watching it too. We have no idea what the next days will look like as the waters rise.
Our entire state is suffering today. Peopleโs homes have been damaged, flooding is all over the stateโฆ prayers today for everyone struggling. This is hard.
