Drought Relief: H.R. 5691 and Louisiana Agriculture

In this episode, we discuss the significance of H.R. 5691, the Drought Assistance Improvement Act, with our guest Andy Brown, National Affairs Coordinator of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation. This bill, introduced by Louisiana's 5th District Congresswoman Julia Letlow, holds the potential to bring relief to crawfish farmers and cattle ranchers impacted by drought in our state. We'll examine the bill's key provisions, grassroots efforts to promote change, and its impact on Louisiana's farming and ranching community.
