Ross has been a vocal supporter of this program and is pleased with Wal-Mart’s decision.  “Our local catfish farmers are an integral part of the state’s economy, and I am thrilled Wal-Mart is partnering with them in an effort to increase awareness and revenue for the catfish industry,” said Ross. 

“Combining a billion dollar industry with the country’s largest retailer is a recipe for success in my book.  I am confident neither party will be disappointed with this partnership, and I am hopeful that Wal-Mart will expand this program to neighboring states for continued success in the future.”
