The A.M. Bohnert Rice Plantation Pump is located on Route 165 and Post Bayou Lane, near Gillett, Arkansas in Arkansas County, and is a rare surviving example of an early 20th-century pump engine built by the noted engine manufacturer Fairbanks, Morse & Company. The pumping engine was an important part of productive rice farming in the area to ensure enough water to flood the fields.[2]
