Sugar cane growing in southern Louisiana
The growth of sugar cane and commercial sugar production has been an important industry in Louisiana for more than 200 years. Louisiana State University is preserving the vital history of the sugar industry in the state through an extensive and information-rich online resource.
The extensive holdings of LSU together with the LSU Rural Life Museum, the Audubon Sugar Institute, the LSU Agricultural Center and generous individuals, offer a chronological panorama of the artifacts and techniques of sugar production in Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi Valley.
