University of Arkansas System President Donald Bobbitt announced Wednesday (April 20) that he would recommend Deacue Fields as the next vice president for agriculture for the UA System.

Fields was one of two finalists to replace Mark Cochran, who retired last fall. Fields was appointed dean of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 2017.

Pending UA System board approval, Fields should begin the job July 1.
