Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This dataset is a collection of publicly available weather data for sugarcane and sugar beet processing facilities in the U.S. Sugarcane weather parameters include high temperature, low temperature, dew point, relative humidity, rain, and wind for the preceding day (and current day associated with the given date. Sugar beet weather includes high temperature, low temperature, and precipitation for the given date. This data is used on conjunction with studies of sugar crop processing parameters, to explore influences that weather conditions have on sugarcane and sugar beet factory manufacturing productivity and raw sugar quality. Publications will be linked when available. This work is supported by USDA-ARS (Southern Regional Research Center), the American Sugar Cane League, and the Beet Sugar Development Foundation.
