Show Notes
In this episode we take a trip to Louisiana to learn more about their small fruit production. We are joined on the podcast by Mary Helen Ferguson, Associate Extension Agent for Horticulture at LSU, and Kiki Fontenot, Associate Professor and Extension Specialist at LSU. Mary Helen and Kiki gave us the low-down on strawberry and blueberry production in the state. They provided excellent insight into their production practices, how they may differ from other growing regions in the Southeast, and talked about many of the challenges that Louisianan producers face. We filmed this episode during a snow/ice storm, so please forgive us for the quality of the audio!
