William H. Fuller, Lon Pool, and Clarence Meeks stand on a “levee pusher,” preparing a field for rice planting in about 1925. Fuller first learned about rice while on a hunting trip in Louisiana and studied rice production for four growing seasons before he planted his first crop. He grew Arkansas’s first successful commercial rice crop, in Lonoke County in 1904.
