Show Notes
Louisianas crawfish industry faces a crisis due to H-two-B visa delays, potentially losing $300 million. Fifteen out of twenty peeling plants have no foreign workers, as local applicants are scarce. Commissioner Mike Strain and plant owner Alan Lawson warn of a labor shortage, threatening the seasons harvest. Without a solution, farmers may ship crawfish to Mexico, adding significant costs. Lawson urges support for the industry by eating more crawfish.
