You have to be a resident of Arkansas, first off. From there, there's a couple different ways to go about it. You can work for a company which offers CDL training in-house. For example, if you start driving a box truck under 26,000 GVWR for a courier or expedited van company, they might upgrade you to a Class B in order for you to be able to drive a heavier vehicle, or, if you work for, say, a landscaper, and you need to be able to tow an eight ton equipment trailer behind something like a Class 7 truck, they might train you so that you can upgrade to a Class A (although you'd receive a "no tractor-trailers" restriction in this instance.
Honestly, the best way for you to go about it is to attend an actual truck driving school. Community colleges often offer CDL training programmes, and there are several private truck driving schools out there, as well. If you can't afford it, several companies offer their own schooling which ultimately is free of charge provided you work for that company for a certain amount of time after graduation (usually a year).

There are hundreds of cdl training courses, and today, you can even take the courses online. So, it does not matter where you live, you can do a course online.
Registered farm vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements. However, the state gains jurisdiction over licencing requirements at that point. So, as long as you're operating a registered farm vehicle within the limitations of its allowed use, you don't need a CDL, but you'll probably still have to upgrade your licence to some sort of enhanced non-CDL licence.
You need a valid drivers license. Air brakes don't affect what type of license you need.
