TWILA : September 20, 2024
This week, we’re bringing you our coverage of Hurricane Francine’s impact on Louisiana agriculture. Last week’s storm was another reminder of why farmers and ranchers across the country are desperate need of a new Farm Bill. Josh Meeks takes us to a New Orleans food desert to show us why the Farm Bill is not just crucial for farmers and ranchers. From policy to safety- this week is National Farm Safety Week, and Neil Melançon shows us why farm safety is no accident. Karl Wiggers continues our celebration of National Rice Month, and we close the show with a very unwelcome visitor in this week’s TWILA Boost!
