WESMAR FARMS: This Week in Louisiana Agriculture Reporter Kristen Oaks visits WesMar Farms in Moreauville to see how one couple's love of goats turned into a small Louisiana business. You can support WesMar Farms by purchasing products from the Louisiana Farm Bureau Holiday Shop next fall.
The Farm Bureau has programs in place to help farmers better protect their employees and family members by helping them work safely and efficiently.
Wendell Miley is the Farm Bureau's safety manager; he conducts safety programs on the farm as well as in high school ag departments. He maintains the state's only farm tractor fatality registry and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) fatality registry. Wendell is a certified CPR instructor through the American Heart Association.
Wendell coordinates the Louisiana Farm Bureau Holiday Shop program, which offers Louisiana-grown citrus and pecan products and Florida-grown peanuts to our members during the Christmas holiday season. He can be contacted by e-mail or phone at 225-922-6208.
