In Canada, as well as the U.K. and Australia, December 26 is now better known as a day for scooping up shopping deals, similar to Black Friday in the U.S. Most stores open their doors early and discount prices on items ranging from clothing to technology to appliances.
In the United States, sugar cane is grown commercially in Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Texas and Puerto Rico. It could also be grown, and used to be, in much of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and nearly all of Mississippi.
The Farm Bureau says there's a lot of political support for sugar, which is grown all over the US.
