    Louisiana is in a pinch

    Sorry IV!

    Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry issued a disaster declaration Wednesday for the state’s critical crawfish industry, as extreme weather disrupted this year’s harvest and triggered a shortage of the tiny crustaceans.

    Yeah, there's a huge economic impact of such a small, yet vital, component of people's lives there.

    While this article says production is 120 million pounds, I read an article yesterday that stated it was 200 million pounds. Either way, that's a hell of a lot of mud bugs! I guess we'll be eating more shrimp this year.
