"...crawfish processors across Louisiana say a shortage of temporary work visas has left them without the migrant labor they depend on, forcing plants to sit idle during the busiest part of the season...

"We'd like to be processing,” Johnson said. “We prepped all offseason to make this work, but you can't do anything because you don’t have labor. And then also having to tell your farmers that you can't move their product."

It’s peak crawfish season, but Louisiana peeling plants are empty: ‘I've lost all hope’

Shortage of H-2B visas threatens Louisiana's $640m crawfish industry, leaving the state's 20 crawfish processors with no option to hire migrant workers.

Local restaurant had a crawfish boil in the alley tonight for their birthday celebration and it was awesome. However, I think I’m gonna smell like shellfish for at least a week. #olympiawa #OlyWA #chicory #food #crawdads
GM friends! The belted #kingfisher is an elusive little bird & being able to photograph them is a definite high. When I got these pics, I was in heaven. An almost fully grown male begged to be fed by his mom & she did just that, fed him a crawfish from the river. #bird #birds #birdphotography #photo #photos #photography #nature #naturephotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #FeedMe #food #mom #BirdsOfMastodon #crawdads #Thursday
