Arkansan Part Of National Catfish Industry Ad Campaign

LITTLE ROCK — An Arkansas farmer is featured in a new national ad campaign intended to bolster the nation’s struggling catfish industry.

Bill Troutt of Lake Village, Catfish Farmers of America’s 2012 Arkansas Catfish Farmer of the Year, along with award winners from Alabama and Mississippi appear in the industry’s “Made in America” campaign that features the nation’s top farm producers and favorite recipes.

Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi are the top catfish-producing states in the country.

Troutt and the other farmers traveled to Boston earlier this year to attend that city’s seafood show, and they have been featured in a number of national publications, including the Delta Airlines magazine and Cooking with Paula Deen magazine.
