Additional
Shrimper Training Sessions Scheduled
May 12, 2005
The LSU AgCenter
and the Louisiana Sea Grant program recently completed a series
of 10 training workshops across the state for shrimp producers
who qualified for cash payments under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program.
Now it’s
offering more training sessions to shrimp producers who may not
have been able to attend one of those workshops. The workshops
are required for producers to become fully qualified for the financial
assistance provided by the TAA program. Producers who applied
with the Farm Service Agency by the April 11, 2005 deadline and
were subsequently approved are eligible for the training.
If an eligible
producer still needs to attend training, he or she should contact
one of the following agents to schedule a workshop:
Training will
be available only for producers who applied and were approved
by FSA. Producers who did not apply or were not approved will
have opportunities to take training next year if and when the
TAA program is re-certified.
