A drought unlike any other

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. With Labor Day behind us, let's get to the headlines.

The dry summer has put the brakes on many aspects of the agriculture industry in south Louisiana. For sugar cane farmers, June, July and August are collectively known as the "grand growth season" when the cane can grow up to an inch a day.

A normal year means 30-40 tons per acre, or an "A" crop. This year will be a "C" crop, producing 25 tons per acre.

Typically, farmers in Louisiana, known for its rainy summers, are more worried about getting water out of their fields in preparation for harvest season. Not so this season.

Check out the story here. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
