Gov. Landry is delusional. They’re saving their moneys for Ukraine

Hah! Cajun Tails used to have the best crawfish etouffee omelette ever across the street though.

Yep agree, Cajun Tales has gone to crap ever since the owners sold a few years ago. Used to have the best food around the area. It’s a shell of what it used to be.

You can spew all you want that crawfish isn’t like every other business you’re flat out wrong.
I don’t get special treatment on a down year for uncrotrollable things like weather, why should crawfish farms?

I haven’t once advocated for aid btw. I’ve strictly talked about everything that has to do with the crawfish industry.

Why would I do that when it’s an outdated technology where 90% of the red rice in swla is resistant to newpath and I’ve cleaned up my ground enough to not have to use it anymore but yea you sure are so cutting edge big timer

Any farmer knows the risk in farming. If there’s a drought for cotton, bean, corn, or hay farmers the pump water to crop. Why didn’t crawfish farmers not plan for the most essential thing to growing crawfish?
I’m on record tho, I’d rather Crawfish farmers have aid vs Udrain

I don't agree with this shite at all. Just like how the sugarcane farmers get government money.
That's the business you are in, some years are better than others. It really comes down to hiring lobbyist who can work the system and IMO that's not how government should work.

No they don’t -
they have a quota on imported sugar that keeps their prices elevated

So you don’t think crawfish farmers pumped water on their ponds all fall where there wasn’t salt water?

So these guys never get disaster payments for drought?

Farmers pumped plenty in the summer flushing and full flood in the fall. It was more of the hot temperatures. Plus the natural rains soaked the roads and levees were crawfish bury that flushing and flooding don’t help as much.

Damn, you just worked loogaroo.

yes, someone can wake up one day and decide to farm. They might hire some mentoring or partner with the knowledge, but it’s absolutely something new someone can pick up.
Sure, they can.. But will they? That shite is hard work. Unless you are born in it, not many people will decide giving crawfishing a try and the ones who do will likely not stay with it long. And you need something else to supplement because no one is making the exact same amount every year.
It will likely eventually start being a job Mexicans will do.
