Farmers from across the state are asking for help before it’s too late.

Hundreds of farmers gathered in Brookland to speak with representatives of Arkansas leaders to share with them their urgent plight: the difficulties they face in farming today.

Many farmers spoke out at the meeting.

Their message was straightforward: We need help, and we need it now.

“Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”

“You are going to lose 25 to 30% of the farmers in this country if they don’t do something,” said Scott Brown, a farmer from Biggers, Arkansas. “It has to be done, and it’s not just here; it’s everywhere.”
