Abstract:

Seeking to diversify his livestock business, which produces 110,000 hogs a year in Bailey, R. C. Hunt chose aquaculture. Seven years ago he opened Southern Farms Tilapia, which at the time was the state's first tilapia hatchery. The farm is now among the country's top five in tilapia production and will produce two million pounds in 2004.
