ST. MARTIN PARISH — Crawfish season is underway across Acadiana and local crawfish farmer Jude Mequet says early signs point to a steady and promising stretch for farmers and customers alike. He notes that warmer temperatures have played a key role in jump starting production sooner than expected.
“Once the warm weather kicked in, the crawfish really started coming out of the ground, and there wasn’t any more cool air to make them go back in the ground or make them go dormant again,” Mequet said.
