We’re continuing our exploration into the Maine lobster industry on this week’s edition of The Farm Report.

Find out how climate change is affecting the oceans and the Maine lobstering business. Learn more about hatcheries, and why Maine fisheries are committed to sustainability. Later, Erin calls Chad Dorr of Dorr Lobster to talk about his family’s history in lobstering. Find out why different purveyors choose to work with certain fisherman, and how lobster prices fluctuate.
