TWILA : November 8, 2024
From the push for a new Farm Bill to rising saltwater threats, we’re covering a lot of ground in this episode of TWILA. The Louisiana Farm Bureau continues its push for a new Farm Bill to provide relief as farmers face ongoing losses. We also examine how rising saltwater in the Mississippi River is threatening coastal water supplies and how the Army Corps of Engineers is working on long-term solutions. Josh Meeks travels to Tensas Parish, where children are being educated on farm hazards. Avery Davidson visits Kennedy Rice Mill, which is boosting efficiency through upgrades with Entergy Solutions. Neil Melancon is at the Yellow Rails and Rice Festival, where birdwatchers get a chance to see the rare Yellow Rail.
