A TRIP chart on costs to Louisiana drivers due to poor infrastructure.
Roads and bridges that are deteriorated, congested, or lack some desirable safety features cost Louisiana motorists a total of $7.6 billion statewide annually–as much as $2,431 per driver in some areas–due to higher vehicle operating costs, traffic crashes, and congestion-related delays.
Increased investment in transportation improvements at the local, state and federal levels could relieve traffic congestion, improve road, bridge and transit conditions, boost safety, and support short- and long-term economic growth in Louisiana, according to a new report released today by TRIP, a Washington, DC based national transportation research nonprofit.
Study: Bad roads cost Shreveport drivers more than $2K annually

Food Production as an Efficient Movement of Water

News Reporter It’s time for your Farm of the Future Report. I’m Tim Hammerich.
It’s no secret that water is a finite resource, and agriculture is a significant user of water to grow our food and fiber. In fact, one way to look at the food system is a way to put on an economic price on water use, says David Doll, a farmer and former farm advisor.
Doll… “You know, we ve been trading water in agriculture for hundreds of years. We just do it in the grain or the apples or the tomatoes or the almonds. That s how we re trading water. We re taking that resource from where we have it and where it may be plentiful at a given time, producing something with it, and then moving that to an area that: one can t produce that crop, or doesn t have the resources to produce that crop.”
