The state of Florida has agreed to buy nearly 200,000 acres of land from a major sugar producer in a $1.7 billion deal to help restore the Everglades

US Sugar should have had the land taken from them, fined and sent to jail for abusing half of Florida for over 75 years.

labor activists have accused it of mistreating its workers and environmental activists constantly blame the firm for ravaging the Everglades.

Big Sugar did block the flow and suck the water out of the Everglades, converting its saw grass marshes into cattail clumps and inspiring one of the most contentious pollution lawsuits in U.S. history.
