| [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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 losses in revenue and additional production costs at slightly over $1.0 billion. |
| [Image: Unloading sugarcane at the mill for processing.]Projected Costs and Returns, Sugarcane, Louisiana 2002 This report presents estimates of costs and returns associated with sugarcane production practices in Louisiana for 2002. It is part of a continuing effort to provide farmers, researchers, extension personnel, lending agencies timely planning information. |

Research Report No. 703, August 1996 In 1993 with the release of the new, high yielding sugarcane variety LCP 85-384, the Louisiana sugarcane industry switched from the 'soldier' or whole-stalk harvester to the combine harvesting system. This publication compares the cost of operating the two harvesting systems in Louisiana. |

| [Image: ethanolcover]Economic Feasibility of Ethanol Production from Sugar in the United States This is a cooperative report done through an agreement among the Office of Energy Policy and New Uses (OEPNU), Office of the Chief Economist (OCE), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the LSU AgCenter. Principal authors of this report are Dr. Hossein Shapouri, OEPNU/OCE, USDA and Dr. Michael Salassi, J. Nelson Fairbanks Professor of Agricultural Economics, Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, LSUAgCenter. |
| [Image: Planting sugarcane]Forum Indicates Sugarcane Farmers Wanted In Southwest Louisiana Southwest Louisiana farmers who are looking for an alternative crop should consider growing sugarcane to meet the increasing demand created by the syrup mill at Lacassine. That was the message Thursday (Feb. 8, 2007) at a sugarcane and ethanol forum held in Lake Charles by the LSU AgCenter. |
| 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. |
| [Image: Photoperiod house]Research Boosts Sugarcane Business Sugarcane has been an integral part of the Louisiana economy and culture for more than 210 years. When the Jesuit priests first brought sugarcane to Louisiana in 1751, little did they know that they were laying the foundation for an industry that now contributes $2 billion to the Louisiana economy. The industry could not be sustained, however, without LSU AgCenter research. |
| [Image: 2005 Sugarcane Production Costs]2005 Projected Louisiana Sugarcane Production Costs This report presents cost estimates for sugarcane production in Louisiana for the 2005 crop year. Cost estimates are included for all phases of sugarcane production including seedbed preparation, planting, plant-cane and stubble crop operations and harvest. Whole farm projected income and expense statements are also included for harvest of sugarcane through second-, third-and fourth-stubble (ratoon) crops. |
| [Image: 2007 Sugar Budgets]2007 Projected Louisiana Sugarcane Production Costs The report presents cost estimates for sugarcane production in Louisiana for the 2007 crop year. Cost estimates are included for all phases of sugarcane production including seedbed preparation, planting, plant-cane and stubble crop operations and harvest. Whole farm projected income and expense statements are also included for harvest of sugarcane through second, third and fourth stubble (ratoon) crops. |
