American companies have joined together to feed American families. We have officially deployed our new fleet of autonomous John Deere tractors in partnership with Autonomous Solutions Inc. and Everglades Equipment Group. The future of farming is here.
Our team is a family and for some team members we mean that literally! Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible women who get to share a family and a workplace. Thank you for all that you do!
Many of our team members grew up in the sweetest town in America and were taught by the sweetest teachers. We take pride in giving back to the schools that have given so much to us. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from U.S. Sugar!
Skilled trades built this country and keep it running. Today we celebrate the mechanics, welders and technicians who keep our operations on track. Happy National Skilled Trades Day! 🇺🇸🛠️
Helicopter rides, spider bites and soil samples are just another day in the field for Gracelyn Byrd Mungillo! Gracelyn is a Research Agronomist at U.S. Sugar on a mission to advance sugarcane science and protect the environment, all while earning her Ph.D. Read more about Gracelyn in her feature from @moretosugar ! 🔬🚁 https://bit.ly/4tOsFKa
They say April showers bring May flowers, but around here they bring an end to the sweetest harvest in Florida. As our harvest season comes to a close, we’re thankful for the team that shows up rain or shine. 🌦️
South Florida’s birds have kept an eye on our crops for years and with our technology we’re finally able to keep up! Drones give us the chance to see every inch of our farmland, a skill that allows us to map the land in 3-D for more sustainable farming. 🪶
Sugarcane is a C4 grass. Sugarcane’s ability to capture carbon and convert sunlight more efficiently than most plants makes it one of agriculture’s most productive crops.
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.
Did you know that U.S. Sugar has been farming in South Florida for close to a century? Blending generations of expertise with cutting-edge technology is how we feed the families of today and the families of the future. We’ve been farming here since 1931. 🚜
