The Louisiana Shrimp Association called the meeting after the price per pound dropped almost $2 in the last few weeks. Right now, fishermen can get around $1.80 per pound for smaller shrimp from processors. The Louisiana Shrimp Association says shrimpers were getting almost $3 for the same catch at the start of the season.
Almost $3 to $1.80 not $2 a pound, its around a $1 a pound.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy for shrimpers, farmers and the like.
The guys I know who put in the work and do buisness like a professional have comfortable lives.
The guys I know who work three days a week and can barely shake a hangover long enough to fire up the boat or run a combine, end up struggling.

One day I bought some 31-35s for $2.50# from a fisherman. The dock was giving $2.35#. The next day the fisherman went up to #2.75 bc the dock went to $2.55. By the end of the same week the dock had dropped the price to $1.90. I dont think it should be fluctuating that much.
