March 2nd, 2023 by

The University of Arkansas at Monticello’s Agriculture auditorium was near capacity, last week, as farmers, business people, bankers, educators, and other stakeholders gathered for a listening session on the 2023 Farm Bill. The session aimed to allow the public to air their views and provide input on what should be included in the new farm legislation. The listening session featured United States Senator John Boozman and Representative Bruce Westerman, who listened to the seven panelists discuss their views on various topics, including crop insurance, conservation programs, rural development, agricultural research, and nutrition assistance programs. Much of the meeting was filled with the audience’s suggestions for the Farm Bill.

Baptist Health & Drew Memorial Meeting about Long Term Operation of DMH by Baptist – Video

February 28th, 2023 by

If this proposed long-term lease, likely for 25 years, takes place, it could begin as early as July 1, of this year.

Drew Memorial is owned by Drew County, and would continue to be.

The transaction also requires support of approximately 1/2% sales tax increase for the hospital by members of the current Drew Memorial board of directors.

A wide range of questions were asked by the board and hospital staff, and doctors, most of which were answered with either descriptions that were pleasing to most, or in some cases, “just look at our past history of how we’ve dealt with other local hospitals that have joined our system.”
