LSU AgCenter scientists are researching sweeping as a potential alternative to burning, with a focus on maintaining soil health and sugarcane productivity.
After harvest, leftover debris is swept off row tops and into furrows for quicker decomposition.

Agriculture is a $13 billion industry in Louisiana. 🌾
A new collaboration between @LSUAlexandria, the @LSUAgCenter, and local business Guardian Aerial is bringing precision agriculture to life — giving farmers cutting-edge tools to help their crops thrive. From sensors to drones, technology is transforming the way Louisiana grows.

Louisiana sugarcane growers Joel Landry, Chad Hanks, Andre Blanchard, and Hugh Andre, alongside @LSU sugarcane researcher Dr. Brayden Blanchard, had the privilege of meeting with @SecRollins, @LAGovJeffLandry, @RepClayHiggins, and Dr. Mike Strain, Commissioner of @LaAgandForestry, during a roundtable discussion last week at the Governor’s Mansion. We are grateful for Secretary Rollins’ continued support for our family farmers and the made-in-America real sugar that helps keep America’s families fed. Thank you, @POTUS and Secretary Rollins, for putting America’s farmers first!

36 years ago Peggy Martin planted a rose, not knowing its name or origins. When Hurricane Katrina hit, her home and the surrounding land were submerged in water for 2 weeks.
The rose canes were still alive.
Hear more from Peggy Martin herself about the rose, and learn about why the @LSUAgCenter has named the Peggy Martin rose a Louisiana Super Plant 🌹

This Friday marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the country's most devastating natural disasters.
In honor of this anniversary, @LSU_CCE's LA-SEER Center, the @LSUAgCenter LaHouse Research and Education Center and the Coast and Environment Graduate Organization are holding a full day of in-person discussions this Friday about lessons learned in the wake of the storm, the progress that has been made, and the work yet to be done (1/2)
