Fertilizer Recommedations for 2010
Proper management of fertilizer is important for attaining maximum sugarcane yield potential.
2010 Projected Sugarcane Farm Costs and Returns Model
2010 Projected Sugarcane Farm Costs and Returns Model
The 2010 Projected Sugarcane Farm Costs and Returns Model was developed as a farm planning decision tool for Louisiana sugarcane producers. The model is an Excel spreadsheet that allows sugarcane producers to project sugarcane net returns for the coming year and to evaluate the impact of changes in yields, sugar prices, input prices and other factors on farm returns and breakeven values.
Seedlings are grown in the greenhouse at St. Gabrield Research Station in order to develop improved sugarcane varieties.
History of Sugarcane in Louisiana
Sugarcane has been an integral part of the south Louisiana economy and culture for more than 200 years. When Jesuit priests first brought sugarcane into south Louisiana in 1751, little did they know that the foundation was being laid for an industry that now contributes $2 billion to the Louisiana economy.
