No DU chapter for Gueydan
From another site:
Gueydan tells DU No Chapter Here
'Bout 3 weeks ago. some individuals gathered in Gueydan, Louisiana to revive a DU chapter. From what I'm told, the meeting was positive. Second meeting, however, ran into SERIOUS DRAMA. Farmers showed up with unpaid bills when NRCS/DU took on a program after the BP disaster happened. I had been informed prior to these meetings some were owed as much as $60,000, but for the farmers who attended, the sum was lower. Still, to not be paid as long as it has been, is not good for NRCS or DU.
For those who haven't passed thru the town of Gueydan, there is a sign which proclaims "Duck Capital of America". Whatever the future holds for DU to have a chapter in Gueydan remains uncertain, but if a town lies in the middle of SW La duck country., it is NOT GOOD for DU to not be a part of their legacy.
