U.S. Sugar Featured in
Florida Trend Magazine.

U.S. Sugar is featured in Florida Trend’s July issue! Florida Trend is a statewide magazine that highlights leading industries and business trends.

Florida Trend's in-depth spotlight this month focuses on the U.S. Sugar's deployment of autonomous tractors. Earlier this summer, we announced the largest commercial use of autonomous tractors in the American sugarcane industry.

U.S. Sugar's autonomous fleet is fitted with American technology developed by Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) and secured with support from Florida John Deere distributor Everglades Equipment Group.

The autonomous tractors deliver measurable benefits across U.S. Sugar's farms, including improved accuracy, higher production, enhanced sustainability and increased reliability in land preparation. The technology was piloted on U.S. Sugar’s farmlands during an 18-month research and development phase.

As U.S. Sugar incorporates its autonomous fleet, U.S. Sugar is working to retain all current employees through additional training and support in new roles, including in autonomous tractor operations. U.S. Sugar is committed to hiring employees for the knowledge-based skills this state-of-the-art technology requires.

Florida Trend’s feature on U.S. Sugar is a testament to our leadership in innovation and technology. With ingenuity and hard work, we’re committed to sustainably feed American families for the next 100 years.
