U. S. sugar outlook

Each year, sugarcane-related presentations are given by scientists, extension agents, and representatives of the sugar industry at various meetings and field days. One such meeting was held recently under the auspices of the American Sugar Cane League (ASCL) contact committee. Representatives of the U.S. sugar industry (beets and cane) from Washington D.C. were present. Among the presentations that were given at this meeting, perhaps the one that would be of greatest interest to a general audience was the one entitled "U. S. Sugar Outlook" by Jack Roney of the American Sugar Alliance. His PowerPoint presentation illustrates quite comprehensively what the status of the sugar industry is in the U. S. Jack also addressed why he is cautiously optimistic about the industry's future.
