Sugarcane Crop Improves in MonthWASHINGTON - Oct 9/09 - SNS -- U.S. production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 28.5 million tons, up 2% from the September 1 forecast and up 3% from 2008, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates. Producers intend to harvest 852,700 acres for sugar and seed during the 2009 crop season, unchanged from last month but 15,300 acres below last year. Expected yield is forecast at 33.4 tons per acre, up 0.6 ton from the previous forecast and up 1.6 tons from 2008. Changes in production are a result of yield increases in Louisiana and Texas where timely rainfall has led to late-season crop growth and improved conditions.
