Arkansas YF&R Award Finalist Carries on a Family Tradition

Brooke Miller is carrying on three generations of farming while building an operation of her own.

PARAGOULD, Ark. (RFD News) — Brooke Miller is carrying on a three-generation family farming tradition while building an operation of her own.

Miller grows rice and soybeans on about 4,000 acres. She started her own farm in 2020 after graduating from high school, following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather.

Now expecting their first child, Brooke and her husband, Cody, hope to continue the family’s farming legacy for another generation.

Miller is one of three finalists for the Arkansas Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Achievement Award. The winner will be announced later this year.
