Drought grinds Arkansas farms as heat drains pastures
Arkansas enters an exceptional drought with Perry County hit by 108 degree heat and pastures barren. Farmers cope with drying ponds, dying trees, and crushed hay reserves while neighbors move cattle to barns. Scientists warn against overgeneralizing from droughts, yet rural communities debate climate realities and solutions. Gene Lyons, Arkansas Times columnist, notes farmers adapt with irrigation ideas and new crops.
