TWILA : May 3, 2024
Farm Bill, Constitutional Convention, and House Bill 7-16... we’re talking a lot about politics in this week’s episode of TWILA! Governor Jeff Landry stopped by our studio to record an episode of LA Politics Podcast with Jeremy Alford, and discussed how a Constitutional Convention may impact agriculture. Louisiana Farm Bureau Legislative Specialist Joe Mapes gives an update on other bills in Louisiana legislature. Karl Wiggers takes us to Acadia Parish where Congressman Clay Higgins gives a group of local farmers and ranchers an update on the Farm Bill. Josh Meeks introduces us to the new director of the Invasive Species Research Center. Neil Melancon takes us to Fontenot Beef Farm, where beef isn't just what's for dinner, it's a way of life. We also get a look inside Wisner Minnow Hatchery in Franklin Parish. All that plus, a brand-new Farmer’s Forecast from Meteorologist Nick Mikulas and TWILA Boost!
