and pioneer in the rice industry. Many of Ralph’s original engineering projects are still in operation on the ranch today. Throughout his life, Ralph Gorrill was a passionate sportsman and conservationist—values that continue to thrive in the Gorrill Family. Upon his passing in 1964, his three daughters, Sally, Anne, and Jane guided the farm for many years. With three women at the helm for several decades, they expanded the rice operations to include tree crops which laid the foundation for our current diversified ag business.
