Business owners needing help vs people refusing to get jobs and sucking on that government tit are not the same
Business owners should have savings and insurance. I know normal farmers carry crop insurance, so I'm sure crawfish farmers can get similar insurance for their product.

I disagree with both, but it's still a false equivalency that brings nothing to the discussion at hand.

If life worked as it "should" we probably wouldn't need a government at all.
Business owners have more potential bang for your buck, as least in theory

Unlikely. We can’t get insurance for catfish either
It’s a live animal crop with no reliable way to track current inventory and mortalities caused by a weather event because the crop cannot be accounted for before harvest. With say corn, you can show seed purchases and show a field planted with crops with acreage to match purchase. You can see when a flood kills that field of corn.
Whereas with catfish you could fudge your hatch numbers and say you hatched 100 million when in reality you hatched 50 million. The average insurance person would have no way to tell if your ponds truly have 100 million fingerlings unless they were physically present every day for 3 months of hatching season and watched you do the counts and stock the ponds
