Farmers in Arkansas Reach Their FAFO Moment

Arkansas farmers are in FAFo season bad, 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 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. The farmers clearly see their situation as dire. Practically everything has gone wrong for Arkansas farmers in 2025. That includes some of the worst weather on record, like the terrible flooding that killed more than 100 people across multiple states in April. That storm also destroyed over 260,000 acres of arable farmland and resulted in $78 million in damages to crops, namely rice, according to estimates by the University of Arkansas’ Division of Agriculture. Agriculture is Arkansas’s largest industry, with its annual output estimated at more than $24 billion. That economic juggernaut relies on multi-generational farms — many of which are now in danger of closing. Despite the uncertainty caused by the tariffs, American farmers still see the president’s flagship policy as a long-term win. A May survey by Purdue University of American producers found that 70% believe the tariffs will ultimately strengthen their industry.
