      <description><![CDATA[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. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[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. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
