Freeze Effect on Cane Being Evaluated
By Johnny Morgan, LSU AgCenter
BATON ROUGE — The recent freeze has sugarcane growers anxious, but as of right now, the advice from the LSU AgCenter is don’t panic. Kenneth Gravois, AgCenter sugarcane specialist, said it’s too early to tell what effect the sub-freezing temperatures felt on Nov. 13 will have on the crop. “Every freeze event is different, and it will take at least a week to determine the effect of this freeze,” Gravois said.
