Welcome to what many farmers in Eastern Arkansas faced this time last year. Many thousands of acres were still under water in that area.

But that kind of comes with the territory - some of the best farm land in our country is located in flood plains (that is a big part of WHY they are good farm land). But with that comes the danger of flooding.

Yeah. The flooding will be good for the fields but not so good for the farmers this year. :(

I live out in Lucy and many of the fields are too wet. But one farmer got his corn in early this year and it's already knee-high over by the elementary school. That field is on slightly higher ground.
