Teague, who is retiring following a 38-year career at A-State, also has an appointment with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture which featured her recently. A native of Northeast Arkansas, Teague’s memories go back to her family’s cotton farm at Caraway; she also recalls how her interest in agriculture developed.
