Angus exhibitors led 38 entries at the 2022 State Fair of Louisiana Junior Angus Show, October 28 in Shreveport, La. Garrett Thomas, College Station, Texas, evaluated the entries before naming champions.

Congressman Clay Higgins recently announced a $25 million purchase of gulf shrimp to help the struggling Louisiana shrimping industry.

Thomas Schouest Jr., who has been in the shrimping industry for decades told News 10 that he believes there is a lot more work to be done to fix the issue of what is wrong with the industry.

It was February 2019 when Ben Pierce had his drone out in Henderson Lake in the Atchafalaya Basin when the thing starting blinking red to indicate that something was wrong.

The drone, an older DJI Phantom that he estimated was valued at $1,500-$2,000, hit a cypress tree and went into the water. Water level that day was as high as 10 feet in some areas, but it was still too cold to go in after it.

The record low levels of the Mississippi River do not have Mike Brown, Mississippi’s state climatologist worried. Not yet anyway.

“The fall has been quite dry, which climatologically isn’t unusual, but our summer was also a little dry. So, now, we’re finding ourselves a little bit behind, especially in the western part of the state,” Brown said.
