TWILA : October 10, 2025
It may not feel like it, but it’s officially fall—and we’re digging into the season’s biggest stories!
Karl Wiggers is in Evangeline Parish to learn more about a new invasive pest putting Louisiana rice farmers on alert. Neil Melancon shows us how schools are getting creative to keep local food on the menu despite funding cuts. We also take a look at one of Louisiana’s strongest sweet potato harvests in years. Then, we head to Kristen Oaks White’s kitchen, where she brings a homegrown taste of fall to Feasting on Agriculture. It’s a full serving of Louisiana agriculture, fresh from the field to your screen!
