Buker Steps Up At US Sugar

CLEWISTON, FL (May 9, 2005) -- United States Sugar Corporation Chairman
of the Board William S. White announced that Robert H. Buker, Jr., will
become President and CEO upon the retirement of Robert A. Dolson. Last
month, Dolson announced his intention to retire at the end of his
five-year commitment to the Board. Buker is currently Executive Vice
President, responsible for all sugar operations.

In making this decision, White said it is very important for the Company
to stay focused on effectively executing the plans put in place to
radically redesign and modernize the Company's sugar processing
operations.
White hopes that this promotion sends a message that there is
opportunity for advancement for those who apply their talent, drive and
initiative to achieving the Company's objectives in a change-oriented
environment.

Bill White and the Board of Directors have made it clear that their
goal is to maintain the current leadership team intact in order to
effectively complete these important projects over the next several
years. In other words, to stay on course, on time and on budget as well
as looking for future opportunities," Buker said.
