Posted 12:58 AM 10/13/2011 : Barge Hits Lock; Saltwater Intrusion Expected

Farmers in western Vermilion Parish are bracing for saltwater intrusion, which could threaten crawfish and rice yields in the months ahead. The intrusion is expected because of damage at the Leland Bowman Lock outside of Intracoastal City, which was hit by a barge on September 30th.
