Thank you, Ardis, for your leadership!
Florida sugarcane farmer Ardis Hammock had the opportunity to meet with Sen. @JohnBoozman this week in Washington, DC! We are grateful for Sen. Boozman's leadership as Chairman of the @SenateAgGOP and for his strong support for American sugar producers. #KeepItSweetInAmerica

70% of the world’s sugar imports come from just three countries: Brazil, India and Thailand. Their heavily subsidized sugar industries make it harder for our growers to compete.
We’re sounding the alarm. 🚨 Read why we are calling on Washington to act.

"Economic uncertainty, labor shortages and severe weather have all threatened the future of our farm at different times. This past February, we experienced one of the worst freezes in recent memory, affecting nearly every part of Florida agriculture, including our sugarcane crop.
"Yet we persevere."

Special thanks to @RealDonaldTrump for recommending support in the Defense Supplemental Budget for Florida’s sugarcane farmers, following the worst freeze in Florida history. Food security is national security and having the support of POTUS and leaders like @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody @WiltonSimpson @ByronDonalds @RepKatCammack @MarioDB @ScottFranklinFL means so much to Florida farmers! #AmericaFirst 🇺🇸
Thanks to @WiltonSimpson for his leadership in fast tracking a solution to help South Florida sugarcane farmers mitigate the rapid spread of mealybugs. We appreciate his leadership and willingness to understand the severity of this issue on our farms.

It takes all kinds of specialties to feed American families. From biology to engineering to finance, U.S. Sugar hires from every field — literally and figuratively. Whatever you studied, we might have a career for you.
Thank you, @RepFranklin, for standing up for Florida farmers! Your leadership is appreciated.
Thank you, @RepFranklin, for advocating on behalf of Florida sugarcane growers affected by the winter freezes during yesterday’s @HouseAppropsGOP hearing.
We are grateful for your leadership, and look forward to continuing to work with you and @SecRollins to support our family farmers as they work to recover following this historic disaster.

In recognition of the #YearoftheWomanFarmer we’re celebrating some of the women shaping agriculture. Meet Glades County, Florida sugar cane producer Ardis Hammock.
Raised by a WWII veteran who built a life in farming, she learned the value of hard work early on. That resilience continues today as an owner and operator of Frierson Farms.
Ardis has weathered hurricanes, shaped policy conversations and continues to be a strong advocate for sugarcane farmers. She’s passing that passion on to her children and grandchildren.

Happy National Agriculture Day! At U.S. Sugar, farming for the future means protecting the land today. With more than 250,000 acres of farmland under our care, we know that healthy soil is the foundation of everything we grow. That’s why we use Best Management Practices to keep our land thriving for generations to come!
Special thanks to leaders from @FlaFarmBureau for coming down to Clewiston @USSugarFLA to inspect freeze damage to our sugarcane crop. In February, we experienced the worst freeze on record and appreciate the support of our industry leaders as we assess next steps. #FloridaAg #FloridaFarming
Check out the blood moon over Florida sugarcane fields! This photo was taken at Frierson Farms.

When the culture is right, everyone thrives. We believe that investing in our people over the long term means building an environment where every single person has the opportunity to succeed. That’s the U.S. Sugar way.

Matt Hoffman from the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida shared photos this week with @RepDarrenSoto of the damage caused to Florida’s sugarcane crop by the recent freeze. We appreciate Rep. Soto for taking the time to meet with our producers and for recognizing the pivotal role Florida’s sugarcane industry plays in the state.
