For Louisiana’s soybean farmers, late August and early September is typically a time when the harvest is in full swing. And while nearly a quarter of the crop has been harvested, the results have been disappointing. The summer was initially marked by drought in many areas of Louisiana, but then weeks of intense rainfall has ruined what would otherwise have been a great soybean crop. In these two podcasts, LSU AgCenter agents and representatives of Louisiana Farm Bureau discuss ways they are working to get farmers critical disaster aid.
Kylie, Dennis, Bruce, and R.L., talk with Farm Bureau Assistant Commodity and National Affairs Coordinator, Andy Brown and Karl Wiggers, producer of This Week in Louisiana Agriculture (TWILA) to tell the story of what is happening to farmers across the state and give update as to what they are doing to help tell that story.
In Northeast Louisiana, farmers have been flooded with rain at the worst possible time of the year with the crops ready to harvest. This week, our team finds out what the Louisiana Farm Bureau has been doing to help Louisiana farmers get the disaster aid critical for many farmers to stay in business. In this episode, LFBF National Affairs Coordinator Andy Brown shares with us what that process looks like and what farmers can do.
