| Abstract: |
The article discusses Louisiana's economic sector. It cites the creation of Dynamic Fuels which converts animal fats and greases to renewable diesel for use in trucks, trains and military jets. Agriculture has contributed 9.9 billion U.S. dollars to its economy in 2010 although 2011 totals may be much weaker as farmers deal with droughts and the Mississippi River flooding. It indicates a trend towards the processing of natural resources and the need for projects to boost its timber industry. |
