Curtis Berry : Mossy Oak Properties Bottomland Real Estate

Curtis Berry was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised just down the road on his family's farm straddling the Tunica and DeSoto County line. He still lives there today, deeply rooted in the same Delta soil that shaped his work ethic and lifelong connection to the land. Curtis and his wife, Lori, have built a strong family together with their four children: Caroline, Emma, Mary Sue, and Curt. A passionate outdoorsman from a young age, Curtis has always found purpose in stewardship—whether of land, people, or community. Curtis is a 1996 graduate of Mississippi State University, where he earned a degree in Agricultural Economics. Before entering the world of real estate and land investment, he spent over 25 years as a highly respected rice farmer. His passion for productivity and sustainable agriculture earned him national recognition. He graduated from the prestigious Rice Leadership Development Program in 2005 and went on to be named RiceTec Mid-South Cooperator of the Year (2007), Delta Council Rice Farmer of the Year (2008), USA Rice Federation Rice Farmer of the Year (2009), and Conservation Tillage Rice Farmer of the Year (2010). His commitment to conservation and innovation in agriculture continues to guide his professional and personal life.
