Cane Area at Recent LowWASHINGTON - Jun 30/09 - SNS -- Harvested area of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 854,000 acres for the 2009 crop year, down 2% from a year ago and the lowest since 1990, according to the USDA's preliminary seeded estimates for the year. Area intended for harvest is down in Louisiana and Florida by 5,000 and 8,000 acres, respectively.
