TWILA : November 1, 2024
From policy to pines, we’re exploring many different facets of Louisiana agriculture this week! U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy visits Louisiana farms to discuss the urgent need for a new Farm Bill and additional support for farmers. We then turn to East Feliciana Parish, where drought and wildfire threats put local ranchers on high alert. TWILA’s Neil Melancon explores the hidden biodiversity of Kisatchie National Forest, showcasing Louisiana’s unique ecosystems. We also wrap up Italian American Heritage Month with a look at Italian farming traditions in the state. Finally, we head to St. James Parish for Ag Day, where students learn firsthand about farming and food.
