wouldn’t eliminating cost ineffective sugar beets be a boon for texas cane sugar?

Are sugar beets any less cost-effective than cane?

If so, why is beet sugar so much less than cane sugar in the grocery store - surely not because of a subsidy that on a per-pound basis is the same for both?

No idea, but that's not a concern for politicians it's a concern for sugar producers. If sugar cane is a better crop then let the market decide that.
