Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi -- the four states that produce the majority of the nation's catfish -- recognize one of their most respected and successful farmers per state as "catfish farmer of the year."
The 2009 Catfish Farmers of the Year are Townsend Kyser of Greensboro, Ala.; Dennington Moss of Lake Village, Ark.; Brandon Haring of Wisner, La.; and Joe Ogelsby of Indianola, Miss.
The Catfish Institute, the marketing arm of the U.S. farm-raised catfish industry, is once again featuring these four farmers in a new national advertising campaign.
