Sugarcane Crop ImrpovesWASHINGTON - Nov 10/09 - SNS -- Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 29.2 million tons, up 2% from the October 1 forecast and up 6% from 2008, according to the latest crop production estimates from the USDA. The forecasted production increase in Louisiana, where timely rainfall late in the growing season boosted crop growth, more than offset the expected decrease in Texas. 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 34.3 tons per acre, up 0.9 ton from the previous forecast and up 2.5 tons from 2008. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
