CLEWISTON, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, December 21, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tanner Winterhof, founder of Farm4Profit and Co-Host of the Farm4Profit Podcast, recently made a trip to Clewiston, Florida – America’s sugar capital and learned how the sugar industry is working to enhance agricultural practices and profitability.
With a population of over 7,300, Clewiston in Hendry County, Florida, is 80 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale and is the undisputed capital of sugar in the United States. Its humid, subtropical climate and location on the southwestern shore of Lake Okeechobee make this part of the Florida Heartland region perfect for sugar cane.
“Clewiston stands proudly as the Sugar Capital of the US, and recently, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the sweet world of the US Sugar Company. From the meticulous processes at the dike to the sweet ride on the Sugar Express, every moment was a fascinating exploration into the heart of this sugary empire,” said Winterhof of his trip.
