Value of State's Crops Shows Gain in 1946 Arkansas
The Crop Reporting Board of the USDA places Arkansas total crop value at 157,189,000 for 1946, up from 112,008,000 in 1935, driven mainly by cotton and higher prices. A season-long drought depressed yields early, with relief from rains later and generally favorable growing conditions. Acreage harvested is about 6,159,000, and 1936 yields reached 119 percent of the 1921-1950 average, with cotton, corn, rice, nuts, cowpeas and some minor hay crops higher than 1935.

Grain markets rally as drought tightens world supplies
1938 saw firmer prices across wheat, corn, oats and rye with cash markets leading the rise despite futures gains. President Robert P. Boylan of the Chicago Board of Trade notes drought reduced yields, yet high cash premiums boosted farm incomes and limited speculative swings.
