by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get right to the headlines. The dry summer has not been good for the region's crawfish crop. One Acadiana crawfish farmer is hoping the extensive water pumping his farm has done over the summer for his rice crops will be enough to keep the subterranean crawfish burrows moist. It is too early to tell the extent of the damage the drought has caused, he admitted, but he knows it will have a negative impact on the season. The last extensive drought the crawfish industry faced was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The drought lasted years rather than a summer and nearly destroyed the crawfish industry in south Louisiana. Check out the story here. Thanks for reading and have a great day. |
