[Image: Sugarcane varieties]Area producers and 4-H members participated in the Sugarcane Exhibits and Judging Contest during the Annual Sugarcane Festival. Events were held September 25-26, 2009, at the Cyr-Gates Community Center located in City Park in New Iberia.
The Sugarcane Exhibits contest involves producers exhibiting three stalks of sugarcane that represent one of the varieties grown in Louisiana. Both youth and adults may participate. Awards are presented in both the adult and 4-H youth divisions.
The Sugarcane Judging contest involves 4-H members evaluating four classes of sugarcane. 4-H members place four sets of three sugarcane stalks in each class, and in one class a set of written reasons are given to justifiy the manner in which the 4-H members placed the class. Awards are given to the top placing teams and individuals in the elementary, junior high and senior high divisions. In each contest the stalks of sugarcane are evaluated on criterias such as weight, maturity, unformity and damage.
Results from both contest are listed below:
