Alligator farmers feel effects of economy

Description:
(Radio News 09/28/09) Workers at Vermilion Gator Farm are busy curing the skins of some of the 80,000 alligators the farm raises. But next year the skinning and curing sheds will sit mostly empty. The Raphael Sagrera family has operated the farm for more than 25 years, but they’ve never seen a year as bad for the business as this one. In June, they didn’t collect alligator eggs, and they won’t raise a crop in 2010. (Runtime: 1:30)
