Grasshoppers for feed?

[Shimano42]

Hello,
So down at our cattle pastures in Texas, the fields have been destroyed by grasshoppers and the drought. The density is so high I caught 3 pounds of live grasshoppers in a fishing net in about 20 minutes. The species are called differentiated grasshoppers and are not toxic. The question I have is do you know of any commerical opperations that would purchase grasshoppers? I know that the reptile industry sells grasshoppers for $6-9 an ounce.
Thanks

I don't know of one but if chickens eat dehydrated grasshoppers like they do dried mealworms you could be sitting on a gold mine.
