I’d like to have a huge shout out for Senator Caldwell for helping stop that sale of that property. As of right now, it still belongs to the University of Arkansas. It is being managed by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. However, we would love to see it continue to be that way. Right now, the AGFC just has a contract to help manage that property.”The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees agreed to sell some 6,300 acres of the land to Lobo Farms in 2020, but the Arkansas General Assembly passed a law in 2021 that prohibits the university from selling the land to any private entity or individual.The university then entered into a 10-year agreement to continue to operate as is. That contract expires in 2031.</div></body>
