TWILA : June 5, 2026
From shrimp boats sitting at the dock to students growing food for their entire school district, this week’s TWILA is packed with stories from every corner of the Boot. We visit Venice to see how rising costs are challenging Louisiana shrimpers and tour a school-run hydroponic farm in Richland Parish that supplies fresh produce to local cafeterias. We also explore new ag technology designed to help farmers make smarter decisions in the field. Plus, we celebrate Louisiana FFA, meet U.S. Senate candidate Jamie Davis and visit with YF&R Achievement Award finalist Laura Hebert as she works to preserve her family's farming legacy.
