NEW IBERIA, La. – The LSU AgCenter is promoting agriculture awareness by hosting Ag Adventures at the SugArena in New Iberia.

“We have stations on entemology, beekeeping,” said Maddox Miller, 4-H Agent, Iberia Parish. “We have different livestock stations. We have some wetland conservation. We have a horse station and also some sugarcane, so just a broad overview of the agricultural commodities that are in Louisiana.”
