 Ville Plaid Farmer Richard Fontenot has been elected the 13th president of Louisiana Farm Bureau. Fontenot, a rice, soybean, and crawfish farmer, was elected Sunday at the organization's 102nd annual convention. He says the honor is humbling. To have the support we had and for them to elect me today to do and stand for and represent what I love and what I cherish and four generations into what we do is an absence of words.
