Hartons Named Bradley County Farm Family of the Year
The Hartons have been in the farming business for 33 years and currently farm 544 acres of land. 160 acres of this land are where they grow hay as their major crop. They produce three tons per acre.
The major livestock and other enterprises of their business consists of crossbred cattle, 100 Moma Cows who currently have 71 calves. The Hartons sell their calves locally and out of state. Mike notes that he has been blessed to grow in numbers and acreage over the past few years and that his goals for his cattle business is to keep the cattle healthy, continue improving the herd, and continue improving pastures and grasslands. He also has built seven ponds for added water supply and stocked them with fish. He has also planted hardwood and pine trees in low areas to slow erosion.
Mike has been in the timber business for 26 years. The family has 181 acres of timberland. Wood harvested from the timberland is sold locally and in surrounding areas. He also buys and sells timber from private landowners. A logging crew of approximately seven work for the Hartons.
When asked to describe how he began farming, Mike said, "I had the best mother and father in the whole world. They showed me how to work at a young age. We did not have cows when we were young, although we had horses that we used to raise gardens and log with. My dad, Curtis "Coon" Harton bought his brother, Herman "Pot" Harton's herd of about 25 Hereford cows and rented his pasture. Kim and I started with about three calves and were proud to have them. We'd ride out in the pasture and look at them every day. Later, we'd go to the local sale barn and buy Brahman cows because they were the ones we could afford. Then we began crossing the cows with Hereford bulls."
The couple has one daughter, Wendy Harton Savage, who is married to Tracy Savage. They have one granddaughter, Josie "Luke" Smith who attends Warren High School and is a cheerleader for the Warren Lumberjacks and another granddaughter Megan Savage and one great grandson, Gunner Savage. "Our girls are our greatest blessings," says the couple.
The Hartons also plant plots for wildlife and do their best to leave the land better than they found it. They enjoy hunting and fishing together as a family. Once, after a good day hunting, granddaughter Josie said, "We're some hunting son of a guns, aren't we Papa?" Mike says, "That was a good day."
"The older we get, the more we realize this whole earth belongs to the Lord. We are just His caretakers while we're here. How grateful we are for our little piece of heaven. It's our hope that our girls will pass along these values to the next generation," says Mike.
The Hartons are members of Fairview Freewill Baptist Church. They have attended the church services at Chapel Woods Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home every Sunday for the past six years.
They are members of the Arkansas Timber Producers Association.
Kim is a past member of Warren Junior Auxiliary, a retired first grade teacher of the Hampton Public Schools. She enjoys taking photos for the Warren YMCA's Waves Swim Team. Her grandfather, Mr. G. W. Botts was instrumental in the early history of the Warren YMCA.
The program sponsors for Farm Family of the Year are Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas Farm Bureau, Farm Credit Services of Western Arkansas, Agheritage Farm Credit Services, and Farm Credit Midsouth Association. Program partners are the Arkansas Press Association, University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture, Cooperative Extension Service, Arkansas Department of Workforce Education, USDA, and Farm Service Agency.

This festival is one of the oldest in the South and brings in thousands of people to Bradley County each June. This generates much-needed revenue for the area.
Any business or individual that wants to make a contribution and get a "tomato sign" on the court square may call the Bradley County Chamber of Commerce at 870-226-5225. Time is drawing near, and these donations need to be made as soon as possible.

May is Older Americans Month
Warren, AR-Older Americans Month celebrated older adults as they play growing and increasingly vital roles in communities all across the country. This year's theme "Blaze a Trail" emphasizes the ways older adults are reinventing themselves through new work and new passions, engaging their communities, and blazing a trail of positive impact on the lives of people of all ages. Experience Works, a national nonprofit organization, dedicates year-round programs and services that are helping them do just that.

Its largest program, the U.S. Department of Labor-funded Senior Community Service Employment Program or SCSEP, provides assistance to low-income older adults needing help transitioning back into the workforce. Operating in 30 states and Puerto Rico, including 62 Arkansas counties participants like 62 year-old Helen Frosh of Banks, Arkansas build confidence, update job skills through a wide range of community service opportunities, and access customized training as a stepping stone to employment.
"Older Americans Month is the perfect time to remind Arkansans that Experience Works is an important community resource for low-income older adults and their communities - especially in rural areas," says Sharon Morgan, employment and training coordinator for Experience Works. "The SCSEP is a wonderful example of how we help people age with dignity and purpose."
As a receptionist at the Experience Works office, Daniels is gaining clerical, customer service, and computer skills. As she becomes job-ready, the office benefits from an expanded workforce that helps meet the increasing need for its services.
The program is available to people 55 and older who unemployed and have incomes of $14,850 per year or less for a family of one; $20,025 for a family of two. (Call for additional guidelines for more family members.)
Morgan also wants to connect with public and nonprofit organizations interested in becoming community partners. "Sorking together is the best way to ensure older adults have the support and resources they need to be successful," she says.
For more information on becoming a community partner, or enrolling in the program, call Experience Works 870-226-4409 or visit www.experienceworks.org.

Intermodal Board Hears Audit Reports
While important to note, the compliance issues were considered minor. The audit was late being conducted, there was a matter of complying with federal guidelines on auditing federal grant funds and the procurement of consulting services was mentioned. The auditor was unable to find documentation as to how the consulting engineer was hired to comply with state law. Some members of the board felt that procedures had been followed but documentation was not located. The board voted to approve the audit and then voted to hire Emrich & Scroggins to conduct the 2015 audit wihich is due later this year.
In other business the authority voted to ask Monticello City Attorney Whit Barton to review an agreement with Genesee & Wyoming Railroad relating to work the company is planning for a rail crossing within the intermodal park.
The board was told that a prospect is looking at the intermodal park and that transportation is a major issue of concern. There is a need to get a rail line into Yellow Bend Port so products can be moved from the intermodal site to Yellow Bend. There have been efforts underway for years to build the rail line, but to date none have been unsuccessful. Authority Chairman John Lipton told staff of the Arkansas Congressional Delegation, present for the meeting, that help is needed to secure federal funds to get the rail built. Mayor Zack Tucker of Monticello suggested that in-kind assistance from the cities and counties that own the authority could be helpful in building some of the infrastructure for the rail. This would require additional expenditures from Warren, Monticello, Drew and Bradley counties.
Near the end of the meeting, the board was told that the investment in the intermodal park is around $5,318,000.00 dollars, not counting cost of the land. The facility is owned 25% each by Warren, Monticello, Drew County and Bradley County.
According to the financial statement, the authority currently owes $509,147.19 as a result of a loan used to cover local match requirements. The report listed receivables being charged in the amount of $677,464.29 to the two cities and two counties. The amounts listed were:
Monticello-$127,333.69
Warren-$128,681.23
Drew County-$175,776.43
Bradley County-$245,672.94
The note is payable to commercial Bank of Monticello and is set up at an interest rate of 4.5%.
