Legislators in Arkansas are beginning to work on a plan to address how farmers burn their fields. State Senator Ronald Caldwell and State Representative Frank Cavanaugh say a legislative committee has approved a study on the issue after heavy field smoke caused a multiple-car pileup that killed two people and injured 11 others on U.S. Highway 67 in Jackson County in October. The approval of the study means meetings can begin to be held with folks to see what might need to be done from a legislative standpoint.
