Global issues hitting Louisiana farmers hard

Global issues hitting Louisiana farmers hard

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good Monday morning, Acadiana, and thank you for reading us today. We have the business news headlines for you as we get started on this almost summer-like morning. We start off by talking agriculture and how global issues are putting the squeeze on many farmers in Louisiana. Production costs in Louisiana could go up by as much as 40% this year, depending on the crop, while rising diesel prices will hit rice producers especially hard.

Have a good rest of your day and see you back here tomorrow.
