JKB,
That's true just about anywhere anymore. Other than YP most fish farms in the midwest make regular trips to Arkansas for redears, bluegills, and largemouth bass and purchase them wholesale. At least many of the ones I know do and I've been told many others do.
Was told by a fish farmer from Colorado at the first Pond Boss convention it more profitable and less labor intensive. IIRR he said he has brisk business once or twice a year and then just coasts. No broodstock to feed, no ponds to aerate, and no seining.
Bob-O and I saw something really interesting at a fish farm in Ohio recently in the guy's circular holding tanks. He had a permanent net near the bottom of the tanks suspended like a false floor. Obiously when he needed to remove fish he just lifted up the net.
