Arkansas Farm Bureau moves three to new roles

The Arkansas Farm Bureau named Chuck Tucker to the new position of senior vice president of organization and administration, which will report directly to the executive vice president.

Also, Evan Teague was named vice president of commodity and regulatory affairs, succeeding Warren Carter, who was named executive vice president of Arkansas Farm Bureau in January. In addition to these moves, Leslie Terrell has been named executive administrative assistant, where she will work directly with Carter and other team members.

Tucker has served as Arkansas Farm Bureau’s vice president of organization and member programs since 1997. He has been with Farm Bureau since 1985 and is a graduate of Arkansas State University (ASU), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in agronomy and a master’s degree in agriculture. In his new, expanded role, he will serve as second in charge of Arkansas Farm Bureau to Carter.

“These moves better position Arkansas Farm Bureau for the future,” said Carter. “Chuck and Evan have years of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges Arkansas farmers and ranchers face as they work to provide a safe and abundant food supply for all of us. We believe Chuck and Evan will provide the strong and perceptive leadership we need to help guide our organization for years to come.”

Teague is a native of Dumas (Desha County), and a graduate of Walnut Ridge High School in Lawrence County. He holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering with a civil concentration from ASU, and a master’s degree in environmental engineering from the University of Arkansas.

Terrell, a native and resident of Sherwood (Pulaski County), has been with Arkansas Farm Bureau since 2002. She is a graduate of Mount Saint Mary Academy in Little Rock and she earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration from ASU.
