In USA, hard freeze could impact sugar cane crop
Louisiana’s sugar cane crop hit a record high in 2020, producing nearly 2 million tonnes of sugar. However, the recent hard freeze could impact the crop this year.
It is reported by klfy.com.
«We had some concern, but it’s one of those things out of your control, — said sugar cane farmer Taylor Blanchard, — Just pray for the best».
Fields in Acadiana were under a blanket of sub-freezing temperatures about two weeks ago.
«We are seeing some green emerging from the cane. So, with that, we have hope that it didn’t do too much damage», — said Blanchard.
Sugar cane in Louisiana went through a big freeze in 1989, when the thermometer dipped into the single digits, and again in January of 2018, when temps were in the teens.
