Louisiana's agricultural resources include sweet potatoes, cotton, rice, strawberries, soybeans, and sugar cane. Sweet potatoes are grown underground and used for food. Cotton produces fiber that is spun into yarn and paper products. Rice is grown in flooded fields and used for food and animal feed. Strawberries are sold throughout states unable to grow them. Soybeans produce oil used in foods and cosmetics. Sugar cane stalks are planted and refined into sugar and syrup.
