Thanks. I've been intrigued by pric3s up here in NETx and the narrative the carriers post on FB every week.

Yep! I have gone from cooking 6-8 times a year to zero over the past 2 years. It just isn't worth it.


Why didn’t you cook last year when they were dirt cheap from March - June ?

I'm curious if anyone has any sort of evidence of saltwater creeping it's way north of I-10 into Eunice or Crowley. If so, please feel free to reply. Jesus, what a pathetic excuse.


Everyone in vermilion parish who didn’t have a deep well couldn’t pump fro July - Dec
In southern Acadia and Jeff Davis the salt got high from Oct - Dec

So it’s estimated that 100k acres will have hardly any production this year
There is a guy in vermilion parish who has deep wells who is pulling is traps on 800ac right now to plant rice because his catch was so bad

Not at all. Why would the price be different? Saltwater was just one issue this season in one area. The heat and lack of rain was a region wide problem. We are all pretty much in the same boat.

Had a family get together last weekend and Good Friday came up. Someone asked if I was doing crawfish and my answer was hell no that shite is too expensive. The response why are you broke? I automatically assumed they are retarded.

My husband baited 800 traps on Thursday I think? We’ll see what happens.

To counter that my husband told me he talked to someone who caught 70 sacks I think Thursday. So that’s a little encouraging for us.

If they aren't shipping until late April then something is definitely wrong and story has merit.

No way anyone is going to be sitting on live crawfish they can ship.

Are you fricking retarted ?

The salt water that affected the crawfish was on the other side of the state and has zero to do with the Miss River

the drought was real,salt water intrusion especially in coastal parishes is real,the crawfish just arent there,making the supply very short,prices high.in my area if farmers did not put a little water on their ponds in the summer they are not producing anything worthwhile

People are slowly starting to understand the seriousness of the crawfish situation. This isn’t some made up crisis like idiots like to claim. And before you say “farmers say it every year” most farmers don’t cry wolf? it’s just a few every year don’t lump us all in together.

The LSU Archives has journals from the trading outposts in early Acadiana. There is a self portrait included from an assumed crawfish farmer shaking a cup.
