TWILA : November 22, 2024
Ag policy, grocery store shelves and farm-to-table meals—we're got all kinds of agriculture in this week’s episode of TWILA! Avery Davidson takes us to Washington D.C. where Louisiana Farm Bureau Leaders were recently advocating for immediate action on the new Farm Bill and supplemental assistance for farmers and ranchers. Neil Melcancon takes a look at the 2024 Thanksgiving Dinner Survey and how Thanksgiving dinner costs are trending across the country and in Louisiana specifically. In a brand-new Feasting on Agriculture, Kristen Oaks-White visits the historic Myrtles Plantation, where farm-to-table meets fine dining at Restaurant 1796. Plus, a look at the 2025 crawfish season and life behind the rice dryers! We hope you enjoy this week’s show and have a happy Thanksgiving!
