Call Obama and see if he can pass Obama Crawfish Care to get those prices down......plan and simple, cold winter, low catch and high demand = high prices. Very simple, when supply is reduced and demand stays constant, you will have higher prices. Believe it are not most craw fish farmers are still in the red this year, at least the ones in my area. One farmer told me if the catch doesn't get better, it will be suicidal, in a bad way. He made a comment on the line it would not matter if prices were $10, if he could not catch any, the result would be the same. He farms about 500 acres and has been paying 3 hands to sit around and do nothing. Ran 250 acres 2 weeks ago caught 3 sacks, you do the math. On another note, from what I understand, he made a killing last year and he thinks this year might be break even, if the catch does not pick up. But let's say he does make another killing this year, and never has to get off his couch to do it, what's wrong with this?
