Louisiana Agriculture Magazine

Spring 2024

Louisiana’s warm, subtropical climate allows producers to raise an array of crops and livestock. It also provides challenges, including floods and tropical storm winds. Last year, a drought led to more than $100 million in losses for the cattle sector.
In these cases, LSU AgCenter specialists respond to individual producers’ needs. In each parish AgCenter Extension agents help connect producers with needed resources and become a conduit for the latest knowledge gleaned from scientists at AgCenter research stations across the state.
This issue of Louisiana Agriculture details the many ways AgCenter researchers and agents assist producers in difficult times and how they are safeguarding the agricultural sector for the future.

Winter 2024

Research at the LSU AgCenter extends well beyond the farm gate. Across 150 acres at the Hammond Research Station, experts in landscape horticulture test the best ways to grow ornamental plants and trees. In Baton Rouge, researchers study how to protect homes in the path of a hurricane. This issue of Louisiana Agriculture focuses on these topics along with new research on soil health and high-tech delivery systems for sugarcane ripening agents.

Fall 2023

This issue of Louisiana Agriculture focuses on the work of researchers and growers who are laying the groundwork for a new hemp industry. Also in this issue, you will find news about the LSU AgCenter and College of Agriculture and a feature on Glen Gentry, who wears many hats at the AgCenter and recently gained attention for his work on lethal baits for feral pigs.

Summer 2023

Rice, alligators and sugarcane are quintessential Louisiana products, and LSU AgCenter researchers and extension agents devote themselves to helping the producers who grow them. Economists are finding ways to improve the market for alligators while specialists focus on innovation in the sugar industry and creating new varieties of rice. AgCenter researchers also have an eye on the natural world. They are protecting the roseau cane that thrives on the coast and the ironwood trees of Guam. All these efforts are detailed in this issue of Louisiana Agriculture magazine.
