ACADIA PARISH, La. (This Week in Louisiana Agriculture) — Rice harvest is well underway across parts of Louisiana, but tight profit margins continue to challenge growers.

With the farm about two-thirds of the way through its first rice harvest, Frey says a strong second crop will be important for maintaining cash flow this season.
