TWILA : May 17, 2024
From a classroom garden in central Louisiana to shrimp boats in the Gulf, we’re covering some ground in this week’s episode of TWILA! Neil Melancon tells us why tough economic times may mean fewer shrimp boats in Louisiana's waters. In honor of Mental Health Month, Josh Meeks shines a light on the unique struggles farmers and their families face and the resources available to help overcome them. Avery Davidson introduces us to the 2024 Louisiana Ag in the Classroom Teacher of the Year. Before bidding us farewell, Keely Ana Strickland brings us along on the Louisiana Farm-to-School Program Retreat. Karl Wiggers shows us why appreciation was flowing at the Louisiana Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee Capitol Day.
