The USDA report highlights a successful sugar beet season, with high yields that compensate for the low production from sugar cane suppliers in the South. Consequently, the US is projected to maintain high sugar production levels, leading the department to raise its feed production estimate to 5.1 million short tons (TC) from 5.04 million. Despite this positive outlook, sugarcane growers in Louisiana have faced challenges due to a late December freeze, resulting in lower yields and revised production estimates by the USDA.
