From this page, click on Recent Edition to download the most recent Market Bulletin newsletter. After the file is downloaded, open it in Acrobat Reader, and read the farm products that are for sale, noting the towns where they are sold.

Find the towns on a Louisiana map and decide which regions they are in. Complete a chart for each of the regions, listing several different items for sale and the towns where they are sold. When the charts are complete, try to write statements that generalize about the foods sold in each region by filling in the blanks in the sentences.
