Catfish latest victim of high farm prices

Between Midwest floods, ethanol mandates and more appetites in Asia, don’t expect to see your local $7.99 all-you-can-eat catfish special on the menu much longer, certainly not at that price and possibly not at ANY price.

Food costs are more than half the overhead of commercial catfish farming now, and so many farmers aren’t even cutting back.

They’re quitting outright.
