At the SWARK.Today office, Arkansas State Representative Danny Watson met the Farm Families of the Year from Hempstead and Howard Counties--both counties are in his district--and gave them framed versions of the legislative proclamations in their honor.

The 2023 Hempstead County Farm Family of the Year, headed by Mark and Judy Anderson, and the 2023 Howard County Farm Family of the Year, Mark and Sarah Myers came to the office with children Claire and Avery Monday afternoon a little before 2:00 p.m. to greet the arrival of State Representative Danny Watson whose district includes both counties. He came bearing framed copies for each of the families to hang on their walls to remember their achievements. Jacob Jones, of Farmers Bank & Trust, where Sarah Myers works as an Agricultural Loan Officer, also arrived to congratulate the families.
