Sustainable agriculture
The right impact
Across the United States, over 3,500 farmer families steward nearly 600,000 acres under our cooperative banner. We farm with purpose—choosing climate-resilient varieties, applying regenerative techniques, and prioritizing soil health to get the most from every acre. Because growing better isn’t just about yield—it’s about people, the planet, and the future we share.
Precision farming
With the largest private Wi-Fi network in the world, our sugarcane operations capture real-time data from 325 square miles of farm operations. Our fleet of cane harvesters is equipped with GPS technology to ensure each harvester’s positional accuracy on each row of cane, saving fuel, and sharing data across all our fields.
Additional ideas and innovations are also helping us to improve safety. These include a virtual driver safety report card and opportunities for learning through machine simulation which can emulate field tasks and provide important feedback.
Agricultural resilience
Variety selection is paramount to the future of resilient agriculture. Variety selection affects the use of crop products, how well a variety manages through weather stress, and how the crop affects the ecosystem it is grown in.
USPR pairs breakthrough seed genetics with rigorous yearly testing to deliver varieties packed with resilience—helping Growers overcome threats in the field and steadily adapt to a changing climate.
