Heat and very little to no rain since June 3 leave crops drying up in in the vicinity of Des Arc in eastern Arkansas. The reservoir on a farm has dropped six to eight feet and may run dry soon without rain. Farmers irrigate if they have the capability, but it’s expensive to do so. Farmers are praying for rain.
