TWILA : March 14, 2025
It’s been a warm and busy week in Louisiana! This week on This Week in Louisiana Agriculture, we take a look at how tariffs are impacting Louisiana rice farmers and what it means for the future of the industry. Backyard chicken coops are becoming increasingly popular with rising grocery prices, so we share what you need to know before starting your own flock. We also see the unique ways Louisiana youth are getting involved in agriculture—from a traditional boucherie at a local high school to a farm tour in Concordia Parish where 4-H students are showcasing their skills in livestock projects and culinary demonstrations. Plus, we take a look at crawfish prices across the state and introduce you to another woman leading in Louisiana agriculture in honor of Women’s History Month.
