A Visit From SU Agricultural Research & Extension

We were recently visited by Dr. Anderson and her photographer Chris with Southern University Agricultural Research & Extension Center of Louisiana. SU is holding a workshop
"Quail and Native Grass Habitat Workshop" in July. Dr. Anderson invited us to be a speaker, but I quickly explained that standing in a room with strangers staring at you was not for me, lol.
So we invited them out for a visit. They spent the morning with us discussing our quail farm and taking pictures to use in the upcoming workshop. After they finished touring the quail farm, Chris eagerly starting taking pictures of our other farm animals including George, our 800lb Boar who was proudly showing off his recent litter of 12 piglets. The turkeys were not camera shy either, as the tom displayed his feathers in full strut. Some baby ducks were making their way out of their shells in the incubator. Since Pat & I are orginaly from New Orleans area our conversation quickly turn to food as we talk about some of our favorites New Orleans dishes.
We truly enjoyed their visit and look forward to seeing them again.

Have A Great Day
