Record-setting heat and intense drought devastated the crawfish population on a Sour Lake farm. There were few crawfish to harvest, although they ought to get 200 to 300 sacks daily. Last year those crawfish sold for $4 per pound, whereas this year, they’re selling for $10 per pound. Of the roughly 500,000 acres of crawfish country in Texas and Louisiana, 170,000 acres will not yield any crawfish this year.
