With much of Arkansas under severe drought conditions, those feeling it the most include farmers.
KARK 4 paid a visit Thursday to a cattle farm in Pope County.
Karen Haralson, who's been farming since 1977, says the dry conditions are making life and business hard.
She says she hasn't seen things this bad since 1980.
"Every day I'd be in the hay field. I'd be cutting, bailing or hailing. If it doesn't start raining, I'm gonna have to start selling cattle," Haralson says.
