On April 22, 1974, Levert St John sold the sugar factory to area sugar cane farmers. The new owners incorperated as St Martin Sugar Cooperative, Inc., electing a seven member board of directors. Levert St.John purchased into the co-op. Farmers purchased stock in the mill pledging 250,000 tons of sugarcane. On October 1, 1993 Breaux Bridge Sugar Co-op and St Martin Sugar Co-op merged to form Louisiana Sugar Cane Co-op, Inc (LaSuCa).
