Sugar bounty map warns of canefields ruin from Wilson bill
The piece describes a large country map by Delgado & Co showing how cane fields in Louisiana would suffer if the Wilson tariff reshapes trade. It argues the cane industry is propped by a $10 million bounty while generating a $29.9 million export flow and a $4.91 million annual deficit, with 600,000 workers supported by $25 million in cane products. It cautions that maintaining the bounty harms taxpayers and suggests Louisiana would pivot to cotton and rice without the subsidy.
