TWILA Aftershow - 2-4-22

Welcome to the hangry episode of the TWILA Aftershow, and we’re kicking off the show talking about some delicious Louisiana shrimp and aquaculture. TWILA’s Neil Melancon talks about the aquaculture in Louisiana taken from back-to-back hurricanes, and where everything stands. We hear about TWILA’s Breann Hendrickson’s first time getting and eating Louisiana crawfish at Tony’s Seafood. While Breann was enjoying some crawfish, TWILA’s Karl Wiggers tells us about his time with the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers and Ranchers at their Leadership Conference and tour of Bayou Rum. TWILA’s Kristen Oaks-White tells us about this week’s TWILA Boost featuring Arkansas Farm Bureau’s first installment of Filthy Farm Jobs.
