Every fall, Louisiana’s sugar cane harvest brings more trucks and farm equipment onto our highways and local roads. It’s part of our history, culture, and economy, but it also means new challenges for everyone on the road. No matter the season, roadway safety should always come first. During harvest, it’s especially important to: - Stay Alert to changing traffic patterns. - Give Space to larger vehicles—they need more room to stop and turn. - Be Patient with delays—safety matters more than speed

By the mid-19th century, Louisiana produced a quarter of the world’s cane-sugar supply. It quickly became one of the wealthiest states in the U.S. Sugar was a driving force behind the transatlantic slave trade. The European demand for this commodity fueled the wealth of nations at the expense of African lives and communities. Enslaved people had to work year-round, but from October to December, sugar plantations ran 24/7, with 70-person crews working relentlessly to process sugar cane before it

Have you ever seen sugarcane harvest before? Here in Louisiana, it’s the northernmost place in the world that it’s commercially grown! 450,000 acres are grown here. Harvest season is 100 days long and produces 35-40 TONS of cane per acre! 75% of the cane stalk is water so it’s very heavy to harvest, but the end result yields about 7500 pounds of sugar. Louisiana produces 18-20% of US domestic sugar production. Next time you bake or pour a little in your coffee, thank a farmer! 😊 #realsugar #far
