Listen "Growing Corn, Watching Lawmakers & Building Leaders – TWILA 5-2-25 "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of This Week in Louisiana Agriculture, we take you from the fields of Catahoula Parish to the cliffs of coastal California, highlighting some of the challenges and triumphs in agriculture. Neil Melancon shows us that while Louisiana's corn crop is thriving, farmers are bracing for tough market conditions and rising input costs. While Louisiana avoided major flooding as the Mississippi River crested, Arkansas farmers are facing significant impacts from heavy rainfall and levee breaches. Grassroots leadership takes center stage at the Michael Danna and Women's Leadership Committee Leadership Conference, and international relations strengthen with a visit from Canada’s Consul General. You'll also meet Burch Pierce, Louisiana Farm Bureau’s Second Vice President, whose leadership journey started with a childhood connection. Plus, a van life blogger makes a daring calf rescue in California in this week’s TWILA Boost! Catch all that and more in this week’s episode of TWILA!
