Technology and Innovation in all we do.
Modern Agriculture
From planting and harvesting to transportation, we use modern agricultural practices to maximize crop yields and protect our natural resources.
Keeping Farmers Connected
Keeping Farmers Connected
We utilize the nation’s largest private Wi-Fi network, covering 270 square miles, to provide our employees with real-time data and information. This allows them to make efficient, informed decisions each and every day.
Efficient Transport
Efficient Transport
U.S. Sugar uses its own rail system to transport sugarcane, refined sugar and other agricultural products. It’s an efficient, low-emission alternative to truck transport and reduces environmental impact across our operations. Safety is our top priority in every mile of our rail operations.
The Smartest Picks
The Smartest Picks
100% of U.S. Sugar’s sugarcane crop is mechanically harvested using the latest smart tractors and harvesters.
A Best-in-Class Refinery
Our Clewiston Refinery is considered one of the most technologically advanced, efficient and cost-effective cane sugar refineries in the world. During the harvest season, U.S. Sugar’s mill is designed to grind up to 42,000 tons of sugarcane each day.
Commissioned in 1998, it was the first refinery in the nation to completely integrate the entire sugar-making process, from the farms and the raw mill to the integrated refinery.
Data and Technology
We use smart location-based beacons to connect tractors hauling wagons to cane harvesters out in the field. This helps tractors find the right harvester, cutting down on extra driving and waiting around. The result? Less fuel use and a smoother, more efficient harvest.
Precision Insights for Farming
Science and technology are integral parts of farming.
That’s why we rely on a blend of local farming expertise and the latest research from institutions like the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) to continuously guide and improve what we do. Our methods—refined over decades—follow state regulations and are widely recognized as agricultural best practices.
