The LSU AgCenter will hold a series of crawfish-producer meetings to bring farmers up to date on important issues.

“The meetings will be held in four Acadiana parishes to make it convenient for farmers to attend,” said Mark Shirley, LSU AgCenter regional aquaculture specialist. “The meetings are free, and anyone involved in the crawfish industry or would like to become a crawfish producer should plan to attend.”

The meetings will be held on the following dates:

LSU AgCenter experts will talk about pond management issues such as harvesting efficiency, nuisance wildlife control and water management. They also will discuss aspects of crawfish biology that affect population density and cause differences in production levels among ponds.
