CROWLEY, La. — Although Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and Catholic and Christian people in Acadiana would normally turn to crawfish to avoid eating red meat, the recent cold weather is getting in the way.
A farmer in Crowley hasn’t been out on the ponds since Feb. 12. Crawfish farmers are now waiting and hoping for warmer days to resume production.
“Right now, we’re completely shut down,” said Alan Lawson, crawfish farmer. “I’ve never seen anything shut down like this ever.”
