Morgan Perkins was crowned as Miss Rodeo Arkansas 2025 on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at the Miss Rodeo Arkansas Pageant coronation in Conway, Arkansas at Hendrix College.

Morgan is 25 years old and currently resides in Ft Smith, Arkansas.  She is a 2023 graduate of Utah State University where she earned her degree in Agricultural Communication and Journalism focusing on broadcast journalism and unmanned aerial systems.  Morgan plans to one day work on the Cowboy Channel focusing on agriculture and Western sports. Along with a team of student journalists from Utah State, Morgan won the university’s first national Edward R. Murrow Award for a half-hour program they produced examining the environmental challenges facing Cache Valley, Utah. After winning Miss Rodeo Arkansas 2025, Morgan traveled to New York City to accept her award with her team.

Morgan already works as the Marketing and Communications Manager for a livestock auction software company, SalesMadeEZ which takes her all around the country to agricultural conferences, meetings, livestock auctions and sales where she continues her learning about agriculture.  Through her travels, she connects with a myriad of farmers, ranchers and other agricultural professionals which is an invaluable experience for an aspiring Miss Rodeo America.  She is grateful to her company for giving her this opportunity to deepen her knowledge of this way of life and business.

So, it’s no surprise that for Morgan Perkins, “Life is short so let’s go adventuring!”  Morgan is no stranger to travel and meeting people and she has learned that “without adventures and new experiences, we cannot fully grasp what great things God has given us.” With well over 10,000 miles in her first months as Miss Rodeo Arkansas, she can’t wait to see even more of Arkansas, it’s wonderful people and the rest of the country.

Being Miss Rodeo Arkansas 2025 is a dream come true for Morgan who is so excited to work hard and represent rodeo and the farm-ranch life in the Natural State and beyond - to represent the rodeo industry that has helped her become who she is today. Morgan has a lot of experience under her belt and a passion to overcome any obstacles in her way!  That’s why Morgan is perfect to represent the Diamond State, the PRCA, and the farm-ranch way of life because she has lived, studied and worked in agriculture.
