Fields of Struggle: A KATV Town Hall

Arkansas farmers are facing one of the most challenging periods in modern agriculture.

This special Town Hall takes a deep look at the pressures reshaping farming across our state. From decades of global trade shifts and agribusiness consolidation to the impacts of tariffs, rising input costs, and repeated Farm Bill delays, Arkansas producers are being squeezed from every direction. For some, the question is no longer how to stay profitable… but how much longer they can stay in business at all.

We’re joined by a panel of leaders who work on the front lines of these issues.

Together, they break down what’s happening in Washington, how global policy decisions hit home for Arkansas farmers, and what real solutions might look like. This is an honest conversation about the future of agriculture, the survival of family farms, and the political and economic crossroads that brought us here.

Whether you’re part of the farming community or simply care about the stability of our food system, this Town Hall offers an inside look at the challenges — and the choices — facing rural Arkansas, and America, right now.
