TWILA : October 25, 2024
From the grain bins in Franklin to an alligator farm in Vermilion, we’re covering some ground in this week’s show! Karl Wiggers takes us to northeast Louisiana, where firefighters recently completed a successful grain bin rescue. Neil Melancon reports from the LSU campus in Baton Rouge to take a closer look at Mike the Tiger’s life and game-week tradition of eating meals shaped like LSU’s football opponents. Keely Ana Dillon accompanied the Kansas Farm Bureau on a trip to an alligator farm in Vermilion Parish. We also see how a dairy farm in North Carolina helped bottle fresh water for Hurricane Helene victims and learn about the agricultural practices of Italian immigrant descendants in Louisiana.
