LSU points out that new varieties of sugar cane help

This year’s Louisiana sugar cane crop was rather large, and there are increasing amounts of success with the new varieties of sugar cane. The LSU Agricultural Center keeps tabs on the Louisiana sugar cane crop, and points out that new varieties are likely to continue to be in use, reports the Advocate:

“New varieties show lots of promise,” Simon said, pointing out that the
2007 crop included about 50 percent new varieties, and next year’s crop
could include about 80 percent new varieties based on what was planted
in 2007.
