Had a soybean farmer yesterday telling me that this was going to devastate them....and that it has been an excellent and promising year. I don't know much about farming, but felt for the guy. He looked pretty upset about it


It sure seems risky to have your finances hinging on weather in Louisiana. I do feel for those guys and maybe they will luck up. Should start investing in some pumps for the future.

It was. He was relaying what Shingleton was saying to be fair.

rump my husband is a rice/soybean/crawfish farmer ... rice is in the bins and beans are in the field.

We are in southwest Louisiana ... and we're worried about the beans drowning. I feel that man's pain. It truly makes me sad.


eta: all farmers should have crop insurance. That is the only thing that is making me not worry like crazy.

damage reports I keep seeing in NOLA are about what Gustav was to BR so far. tons of trees down, signage and gas station overhangs down all over. flooding is starting to happen around town, but not widespread yet

like what? More windy and rainy? Way to go out on a limb.


Damage might not be terrible for some (although it surely will be for many), but I heard people saying "Oh everyone stop freaking out, school won't even be cancelled. Get on with your lives" on FB and I was just like
