Florida Sugarcane Farmers

Happy National Agriculture Day! At U.S. Sugar, farming for the future means protecting the land today. With more than 250,000 acres of farmland under our care, we know that healthy soil is the foundation of everything we grow. That’s why we use Best Management Practices to keep our land thriving for generations to come!

Special thanks to leaders from @FlaFarmBureau for coming down to Clewiston @USSugarFLA to inspect freeze damage to our sugarcane crop. In February, we experienced the worst freeze on record and appreciate the support of our industry leaders as we assess next steps. #FloridaAg #FloridaFarming

When the culture is right, everyone thrives. We believe that investing in our people over the long term means building an environment where every single person has the opportunity to succeed. That’s the U.S. Sugar way.

Matt Hoffman from the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida shared photos this week with @RepDarrenSoto of the damage caused to Florida’s sugarcane crop by the recent freeze. We appreciate Rep. Soto for taking the time to meet with our producers and for recognizing the pivotal role Florida’s sugarcane industry plays in the state.

Three straight nights of below freezing temperatures will make for some difficult days ahead. Please keep all of Florida’s farmers in your prayers. 🙏

Supporting our farm economy starts by having a strong national agricultural policy that #PutsAmericanFarmersFirst. Florida sugarcane farmers like the Perry Family produce over 2 million tons of sugarcane every year, contributing to $4.2 billion annually in economic impact.

Great to see this strong partnership forming in our local communities!

A BIG THANK YOU to the sugar workers across the industry clocking-in for factory shifts so that we can celebrate sweet moments throughout the holiday season. Our factories run 24/7 to keep America supplied with sugar. Take a moment today to #ThankAWorker! We couldn’t do it without them.

For the first time in more than two decades, our employees gathered recently at the John Boy Auditorium for U.S. Sugar’s pre-harvest celebration. It was a wonderful day of fellowship and fun as our team begins our next harvest! #USSugar #HarvestReady #feedingamericanfamilies

This year, EAA farmers achieved a 62% annual phosphorus reduction, more than double Florida's requirement. For 30 years, these farmers have been leading the way in water quality while feeding families across America. Today, the South Florida Water Management District recognized their significant efforts during its Governing Board Meeting in West Palm Beach. #EAAFarmers #SustainableFarming #FeedingAmerica

Thank you Deputy Secretary Vaden for meeting with the Florida Sugar Cane League at #Sugar2025. Our farmers and workers are thankful that @POTUS has assembled such a great team at @USDA with @SecRollins and @DepSecVaden!

U.S. Sugar gave away 120 backpacks filled with school supplies at the Clewiston Library to help local students head back to school prepared and confident. We’re proud to support our communities and invest in the success of the next generation. Here’s to a great year ahead! #BackToSchool #USSugarCares #USSugar #CommittedToCommunity
