Louisiana’s sugarcane harvest wrapped up with one of the best seasons in recent years. The state saw a gain of more than 800,000 acres of sugarcane last year, which pushed total acreage to just over one million.

This Week in Louisiana Agriculture shows us that despite the challenges, farmers remain optimistic for the year ahead.
