RICHMOND,Arkansas – Little River County gets some much needed rain, but local farmers say it isn’t enough.They say this drought is different.
"We got three inches of rain last night,that’s going to help for sure, but we’re going to have more to follow," Chas Davis, farmer.
Farming has been in the Davis family for more more than 100 years.
Chuck Davis says this is the worst drought he’s ever seen this time of year.
Seems like the droughts are getting to be the norm now days, we have droughts pretty regularly.
So far irrigation is getting them through, but it’s not easy.
Everybody all the farmers.
That’s all they’re doing right now is chasing water," said Chas.
"We have to have hae for the cattle for the winter , so if we don’t get the rains to continue to get the hay going to bail .We’re either going to have to sale cattle or bring hay in from other places and if we don’t get anything on the crops.
Then their not going to yield.
