ATTENTION LOUISIANA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!!

The Growing Careers: Beyond the Sugar Field is a newly launched agricultural career awareness initiative from the Southwest Region LSU AgCenter . This one-day workshop is designed for students in grades 9–12 and offers an interactive, behind-the-scenes look at the wide range of career opportunities within the agriculture industry – specifically those relevant to sugarcane production and processing. The experience will highlight the important work being done at the Sugar Research Station in St. Gabriel, Louisiana, giving students a firsthand view of innovation in Louisiana sugar breeding and production practices.

Applications to attend are being accepted until September 10th for the October 14th event. This event is open to 9-12th grade students (not limited to 4-H and FFA members). However, attendance is limited to 30 participants to ensure we can offer hands-on activities throughout the day. If you prefer a direct link to the application rather than the QR code included in the attached flyer: it is here:

A few weeks ago, the USDA Agricultural Research Service, the American Sugar Cane League, and the LSU AgCenter voted to release our new cultivar, USDS ARS HoCP18-803! We are excited to see what it will do for our growers, especially how it responds to ripener applications! Louisiana Sugarcane
