LTBA Selects Harang as President

The Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association unanimously voted Warren Harang III president of its board of directors during its Aug. 6 meeting in Bossier City. 

Harang has been a Thoroughbred breeder and member of the LTBA for more than 30 years. Harang owns and manages B&W Farms, a sugar cane farm in Donaldsonville, where he resides with his wife Becky. He has served as a member of the board of directors of Lafourche Sugars, past president of Ascension Parish Farm Bureau, past chairman of the board of the American Sugar Cane League, and past president of the Ascension Parish Cattleman's Association, among others.

"I am honored to accept this position, and I will do the best job I possibly can to represent the interests of all who work in and enjoy the Louisiana Thoroughbred industry," Harang said. "We are facing some tremendous challenges at this time, but I will do all that I can to help our industry continue to move forward. Our program is centered around the Louisiana-bred Thoroughbred, but it is the people in our program that drive our success. 

"I commend the LTBA staff for the capable, efficient, helpful, and professional service they provide. I also commend the breeders for continuing to work together toward improving our product and our program. If we all work together, I am optimistic that we will have a brighter future ahead."

At the same meeting, first vice president Jake Delhomme and second vice president Brett Brinkman were unanimously re-elected to their respective positions.
