Arkansas farmers have been suffering through a devastating drought all summer, but Isaac's arrival is just as bad, if not worse for some crops.

Rice farmers were hustling early Thursday morning in Lonoke County, trying to harvest as much of their crop as possible.

They had heavy equipment on hand and worked until the last possible second to harvest as much of their crops before Isaac's arrival.

Many rice farmers say any crop left behind will be lost to the storm.
