From global markets to Louisiana farm fields, this week's TWILA explores agriculture at home and abroad. We look at how renewed fighting in Ukraine is driving wheat prices higher, meet a veteran rice farmer helping the next generation take the reins during one of the toughest farm economies in decades, and visit Southern University AgCenter's experimental vineyard, where researchers are exploring whether wine grapes could become Louisiana's next crop. We'll also see how farmers protect livestock during the summer heat, learn how a feral hog problem at a Louisiana high school highlights the growing threat of invasive species, and wrap up with a TWILA Boost featuring Glass Half Full, the New Orleans company turning discarded bottles into new opportunities for Louisiana's coast.
