The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice recently released new maps that show petrochemical plants in Louisiana are disproportionately located near Black communities.

Last week in New Orleans, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard arguments in Perkins v. Hart.

Accurate irrigation scheduling maximizes the benefits of irrigation and reduces the damage over-, or under-irrigation does to your crops. Often people schedule irrigation by feel rather than by plant need. Unfortunately, some irrigation scheduling methods can be wildly inaccurate since plant water needs and the amount of soil water available to plants are affected by climate, plant size, soil type, and rooting depth. Accurate irrigation scheduling aims to replace soil water lost by evaporation and plant use as precisely as possible. There are several online apps available to help today with irrigation scheduling. In fact, the LSU AgCenter is about to release a new app that is adaptive to drought conditions. This is a unique app and one you want to take a look at. During this Training episode, Dr. Stacia L Davis Conger from the LSU AgCenter will step us through online scheduling apps.

Over the weekend, employees at a Starbucks in Louisiana voted to form a union, becoming the first Starbucks in Louisiana to do so. The Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha tells us how this move is part of a larger trend of Starbucks unionization across the Gulf South.  A bill to legalize noodling, the practice of using one's bare hands to catch catfish, recently passed the Louisiana house and senate and is on its way to the Governor's desk. Bill author and noodler himself, Jonesboro Rep. Jack McFarland, tells us why this legislation is important.  An invasive, wriggling creature known as the hammerhead worm has been showing up lately on some south Louisiana lawns. LSU AgCenter entomologist Nathan Lord tells us more about the worm species, the dangers they present, and how to deal with them. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.
