Arkansas farmers are pleading with US government to save them -- many face bankruptcy. Here's what Trump is offering [View all]
Arkansas farmers are sounding the alarm claiming that a deteriorating global economy and soaring costs are pushing them to the brink of disaster.
As tariffs begin to bite, the state’s farmers are pleading for emergency funding [1] as they stare down bankruptcy and foreclosure.
Hundreds of farmers recently took their pleas to Arkansas’ congressional delegation in Brookland, a community in the northeastern part of the state.
“If there’s no emergency funding this year, there will be one out of three farmers who will file bankruptcy,” said Chris King, a Woodruff County farmer who attended the event.
The farmers clearly see their situation as dire. Here’s what’s going on.
