Berwick, LA – A tiny pharming town located just across the Atchafalaya River from Morgan City stands to lose its entire meth crop if the Morganza Spillway is opened to relieve the cresting Mississippi River.

Dozens of cozy mom-and-pop laboratories, which produce pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine, are quietly nestled throughout the swamps and wetlands just outside of town. These family-run businesses could be entirely wiped out by flood waters that officials say could reach them sometime next week.

Berwick officials have petitioned the federal government to allow for lab owners, cooks, and even distributors to be able to file for small business loans and federal assistance should the controlled flooding in the Atchafalaya basin destroy their way of life.

I was at the Fly earlier. I could have taken two steps off the sidewalk and been in water.

Berwick doesn't have any swampland close enough to be effected by any flooding that may happen.............
