Rice, pecans, and pumpkins — oh my! We take a look at how the nation’s longest government shutdown is putting pressure on Louisiana farmers and how rising costs are challenging rice growers across the state. Congressman Clay Higgins joins Farm Bureau leaders to push back against imported rice, and the Women’s Leadership Committee hits the road for a fall meeting at Little Eva Pecan Co. Plus, two Louisiana women graduate from Farm Bureau’s national Communications Boot Camp, and Kristen Oaks White shows us how pumpkins are turning into moovelous farmyard snacks. From policy to pumpkins, we’ve got it all in this week’s episode of TWILA!
