| Louisiana Sugarcane Harvest Suffers From Rain-soaked Finale (Distributed 01/05/07) Even with freezes and rain in early and mid-December, Louisiana’s sugarcane harvest was shaping up to be one of the best in years. Then more rain came, and what could have been an excellent year quickly turned into just an average one. |

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. |
| [Image: 2012 Sugarcane Crop Cycle Length Evaluation Model]2012 Sugarcane Crop Cycle Length Evaluation Model The 2012 Sugarcane Crop Cycle Length Evaluation Model, an Excel spreadsheet-based producer decision tool, was developed to assist sugarcane producers in evaluating the optimal crop cycle length for various tracts of sugarcane produced on farms in Louisiana. Costs and returns are compared for sugarcane crop cycles through harvest of second and third stubble crops. |
| [Image: Allocation of Sugarcane Planting Costs in 2012]Allocation of Sugarcane Planting Costs in 2012 This report presents estimates of sugarcane planting costs for sugarcane planted in 2011. These planting costs would be allocated to the 2012 plantcane crop and succeeding stubble crops. |
| [Image: Prorated Sugarcane Planting Costs in 2012]Prorated Allocated Planting Costs of Sugarcane in 2012 This report presents estimates of prorated (unrecovered) planting costs for sugarcane in produciton for the 2012 crop year, including plant cane planted in 2011, first stubble planted in 2010, second stubble planted in 2009, and third stubble planted in 2008. |
| [Image: Sugarcane Planting]Allocation of Louisiana Sugarcane Planting Costs in 2009 This report presents estimates of sugarcane planting costs for the 2009 crop year. Estimates in the report represent values of unrecovered planting costs for standing sugarcane crops in various seed cane and millable cane production stages as of January 1, 2009. |

| [Image: Prorated Sugarcane Planting Costs for 2009]Prorated Allocated Planting Costs for Sugarcane in 2009 This document estimates the remaining, unrecovered planting cost of plant and stubble sugarcane crops in the 2009 crop year. The estimated costs of planting are prorated by age based on remaining production. For example, it is assumed that the producer will have a 4-year crop cycle. The plant-cane will have 100%, first-year stubble 75%, second-year stubble 50% and third-year stubble 25% of its full production potential remaining, respectively. |
| [Image: Disaster Recovery October 5, 2005]Disaster Recovery: Assessment of Agricultural Damage Caused by Hurricane Rita After Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana on August 29, 2005, the AgCenter quickly began to assess the damage caused to the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries industries. Since those initial estimates, the AgCenter has refined its projections and now pegs the total economic impact due to losses in revenue and additional production costs at slightly over $1.0 billion. |
| [Image: Sugarcane Variety LCP 85-384.]Economically Optimal Crop Cycle Length for Major Sugarcane Varieties in Louisiana As a result of the excellent stubbling ability of LCP 85-384, producers are now considering such production decisions as how long stubble crops should be kept in production before plowing out, or whether they should be kept in production if a net profit could be made from harvest. This report outlines a procedure that can be used to determine the optimal number of sugarcane stubble crops to keep in production with the goal of maximizing producer net returns. |
| LSU AgCenter To Focus On Developing Bio-based Energy Louisiana farmers and forest producers could find a silver lining in the cloud of rising fuel prices – with the development of new fuels from crops they already grow or could grow. |
| [Image: table]Disaster Recovery: Estimates of Economic Impact From Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on Louisiana Agriculture The dollar amounts, which are estimates of reduced revenue and increased costs, are broken down by storm and commodity. Total estimated costs are also provided. |
| [Image: table]Assessment of Damage to Louisiana Agricultural, Forestry, and Fisheries Sectors By Hurricane Katrina Based on the information known at the time of the storm, and given the historical value of these industries to the state, the AgCenter was able to provide preliminary estimates on losses of revenue due to production losses. |
| [Image: Changes in Sugarcane Production Costs]Changes in Sugarcane Production Costs and Returns in Louisiana, 2004-2008 This report highlights changes in the costs of producing sugarcane in Louisiana over the 2004-2008 period. Comparisons are made between production costs per pound of raw sugar produced and the average net price for raw sugar received by growers. |
