C & H Sugar May Benefit from this deal

With the demise of US Sugar, the C&H brand and the Domino brand will own the cane sugar market in the US. Now if the Congress would allow the importation of ethanol from Brazil, (but thats too much to ask)


Blockbuster land deal faces many obstacles: "On the other hand, another potential roadblock may be easing: Gaston Cantens, spokesman for the Fanjul family's Florida Crystals Corp., said the company now sees the U.S. Sugar buyout as a chance to acquire an even bigger share of the market.
Florida Crystals owns 31,000 acres in the district's proposed water pathway, which means the state would have to swap part of the U.S. Sugar property for the Fanjul-owned tracts.
'We see it as a positive for everyone,' Cantens said, adding: 'We are comfortable the state is committed to maintaining farming in the area"

THE ILLUSTRATED CONSERVATIVE | LIBERALISM IS A SICKNESS, CONSERVATISM IS THE CURE: 'Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x'

I knew I should never have left North Dakota.

'Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x'
Watch out OPEC,

America is about to become a super ginormous, oil superpower.
"America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy Independent and until now has largely gone unnoticed. Thanks to new technology the Bakken Formation in North Dakota could boost America’s Oil reserves by an incredible 10 times, giving western economies the trump card against OPEC’s short squeeze on oil supply and making Iranian and Venezuelan threats of disrupted supply irrelevant...In the next 30 days the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) will release a new report giving an accurate resource assessment of the Bakken Oil Formation that covers North Dakota and portions of South Dakota and Montana. With new horizontal drilling technology it is believed that from 175 to 500 billion barrels of recoverable oil are held in this 200,000 square mile reserve that was initially discovered in 1951." -

Next Energy NewsHere's the best part, "if 200 billion barrels of oil at $90 a barrel are recovered in the high plains the added wealth to the US economy would be $18 Trillion Dollars which would go a long way in stabilizing the US trade deficit and could cut the cost of oil in half in the long run."I know many on the left will find this terrible, even catastrophic news because it will set solar, wind, and Skittle power efforts back decades, maybe even killing them outright. I say, in a loud steady voice - okay by me. That foolishness wasn't going to solve
America's energy needs, not now, not ever. So someone put the juniors, Algore,
Robert Kennedy and Ed Begley on suicide watch, "thar's (black) gold in them thar hills." I will see all of you on the barricades."Onboard High-Tech Oil Rig, U.S.

CAMELINA

Better a subsidy for camelina than corn and cane. Just kidding....

Grand Forks Herald: "A plant once called 'Gold of Pleasure' that flourished thousands of years ago in Europe could be a promising new crop - and source of energy - for farmers in the arid High Plains."

Progress

When you read this story, note the references to Florida Crystal and Fanjul. These are C&H owners and lend credence to the rumor that the Crockett operation will become an ethanol producer.

CANE the TV Series

Personally, I hoped the series would closely follow the Fanjul family history. It is more interesting than any Hollywood script. (keitho in crockett)


Fanjul lawyers will not sue CBS … for now

CANE

The new TV series CANE is about the sugar business, sugar cane, rum, Cuba, family dissension, a bit of the God-Father, political intrigue with ethanol mixed in. If you know a little about the present owners of C&H, one might think this will be based on that family. Tuesday night on CBS.
