Mike Strain

I was honored to attend a reception aboard HMS Trent at the invitation of His Britannic Majesty’s Consul General Richard Shackleton as part of Sail 250 New Orleans. This international maritime celebration brings together tall ships and naval vessels from around the world, and it was a pleasure to join fellow leaders and guests for an evening of fellowship and friendship along the Mississippi River.

Today on Echols at Eight: Louisiana Ag Commissioner Mike Strain joins us to talk about the last 2 weeks of session, the China trade deal and what it could mean for Louisiana, drought and rainfall concerns, the end of crawfish season, and with May being National Beef Month and National BBQ Month, we’ll talk Louisiana agriculture, food, and what’s ahead for producers across the state.
