COALITION OF AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONS URGES ECONOMIC RELIEF FOR ARKANSAS FARMERS
Arkansas agriculture industry stakeholders have joined together to urge the state’s congressional delegation to take immediate action to provide relief from the financial pressures facing farmers in 2024. The coalition, guided by Arkansas Farm Bureau, expressed concern over the escalating economic pressures threatening the viability of the state’s agricultural communities. Citing the widening gap between commodity prices and input costs, exacerbated by high interest rates, the letter describes many Arkansas farmers as being at a crisis point in their operations.
