What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Drought is becoming more severe in Arkansas, with Carroll County currently labeled as experiencing D2 to D3 drought conditions. The extreme heat and dryness have strained water availability and hay supplies in the area. Due to the lack of normal grazing, farmers are turning to hay for livestock, which has led to an uptick in requests for nitrate testing on the feed supply.
