Shrimp Farmer Karlanea Brown: Catching New Opportunities
from Where Landowners Get Their News · host American Farmland Owner with Dave Price
Shrimp may not be what you expect to find on a farm in rural Indiana, but Karlanea Brown has turned it into a thriving business. As co-owner of RDM Aquaculture, she raises shrimp indoors without pumps, filters, or antibiotics—selling directly to customers and hosting tours. Rising tariffs on imported shrimp have made her locally raised product more competitive, opening doors for U.S. aquaculture. Brown hopes more farmers will see the opportunity, but reminds them: shrimp farming takes skill, patience, and daily work.
