Episode Synopsis


On this week’s Arkansas AgCast, we take a closer look at the economic pressures weighing on the ag industry. John Deere is scaling back production with layoffs as farmers cut back on equipment purchases, while Arkansas’s timber industry continues to struggle under collapsing pulpwood prices and mill closures. We also cover the latest initiative to stop the destructive New World screwworm spread with a new sterile fly facility in Texas and USDA’s policy shift to end subsidies for solar power projects on farmland.Farmers Market Application: https://arfbstateconvention25.vfairs.com/en/farmers-pageCollege Pick ‘Em: https://fantasy.espn.com/games/college-football-pickem-2025/group?id=d114c024-6b65-4704-bf7d-7ef95119e0e0&joining=true
