Episode Synopsis


On this episode of the Arkansas AgCast, we discuss why row crop farmers in the state are weathering one of their most challenging years in decades. In 2025, falling commodity prices, stubbornly high input costs and tightening credit are pushing farm income deep into the red for a third straight season. Listen as Dr. Hunter Biram breaks down the numbers behind the row crop economy and what’s driving the rise in farm bankruptcies across the region. We also explore how government support programs are providing partial relief, what new policy proposals could mean for the year ahead and where farmers might still find a few bright spots heading into 2026.
