re: “We just don’t have enough water”: Louisiana crawfish farmer on unprecedented drought

This is a legit reason for once. Every pond around south Louisiana is still really low compared to mean water lever and this time last year.

Most of the November crawfish comes from around the Kaplan Abbeville area if I’m not mistaken and that’s where the water situation is the worst so I wouldn’t expect crawfish anytime soon in those restaurants that usually have them now

Boo freaking hoo. There is always an excuse.

I posted the article just because of the running joke of everything affecting crawfish prices, but I know demand continues to rise each year. I swear the Houston area alone gains 73 new places every year that suddenly sell boiled crawfish.

It’s insane the Houston areas growth in the crawfish market and San Antonio is trying to do the same as well as Dallas

Golden Corral lifted your lifetime ban?

What water restrictions? The crawfish production in that area has been slowly growing over the past decade

Absolutely. As well as gasoline for 99 cents a gallon.

Same. I think I bought twice last year? First was Good Friday. Next time was probably 2 months later. I'm not giving more than 80 for a sack of damn crawfish.

Naw man. Welsh to Elton to Crowley and up through Whiteville will produce just as much. They all flood earlier now.

You bout to get your water today Christian.

We used to have a 35 acre pond in Lafourche parish and wouldn't start to crawfish until late January/early February.
Sunday as we were coming back from the deer stand we picked up a momma crawfish with hundreds of little ones under her tail. We now have a 2 acre pond that we fish just for our family. That bitch got thrown in there. Hopefully in about 3-4 weeks we get some boiled crawfish.

yea because instead of going fallow after rice they are doing crawfish
But the ones pumping off the canal system do have water restrictions when Texas is in a drought
West of Houston had 15-20k less rice this year because of water restrictions
Why do you think Texas used to avg 450-500k of rice and now avg 150k?
And lol at Texas replacing LA crawfish. You know how expensive it is to drill a deep well in Texas?
There are 50k rice acres east of Houston/ They are 400k rice acres in South LA
