Harvest Hits Stride in Louisiana

Louisiana’s rice harvest is gaining momentum following rains that swept across the southern part of the state as a result of Hurricane Hanna’s pass through the Gulf Coast region last week.
Some areas saw rains daily, while others had breaks in between bands to allow for a few hours of harvesting. Now that Hanna has exited, the hope is that weather patterns return to normal as a majority of the crop is nearing harvest.
