The commission focuses on protecting and restoring the state’s natural resources. Wilcox and her husband, Clint, operate a farm near Fairview where they raise cattle and grow wheat, soybeans, canola, and milo.
 

Megan Langley of Adair County was appointed to the Arkansas-Oklahoma Arkansas River Compact Commission.
 

The commission oversees water allocation between Arkansas and Oklahoma and addresses pollution concerns within the Arkansas River Basin. Langley and her husband, Kyle, are poultry producers for Simmons Foods.
