This week I had the pleasure of attending the Jeff Davis Parish Rice Growers Association Annual Meeting & Wives Appreciation Dinner alongside our Director of Economic Development , Cesilee Oliver. 🌾

The evening was a wonderful opportunity to gather with the hardworking rice producers who play such a vital role in our parish’s economy and heritage. It was also a meaningful way to recognize and appreciate the wives and families who support this industry day in and day out.

Thank you to the Jeff Davis Parish Rice Growers Association for hosting such a well-organized and welcoming event at Regatta Seafood & Steakhouse. We appreciate the chance to listen, connect, and continue supporting the agricultural community that is so important to Jeff Davis Parish.

Always grateful for opportunities like this to strengthen partnerships and celebrate the people who help our parish thrive. 💙🌾
