U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, is keenly aware that farmers are in a crisis, but solving the dilemma is proving elusive and time-consuming.
Still optimistic, Boozman said he has been meeting with colleagues and the White House to address the situation.
“I think your description as a crisis doesn’t understate the problem at all. It’s not only in Arkansas, but it’s throughout the country, and agriculture is not about Democrats and Republicans,” said Boozman.
