I went to a cane grinding just last month out in Hephzibah (SP?). First time I'd sen that. Pretty cool. I was told it took 40 gallons of juice to get 4 gallons of syrup.

My dad loved sorghum molasses, especially this time of year when he would have it on pumpkin pie. I love it too, but since becoming Type 2 DM, got to steer clear. As a kid my mom would mix butter and molasses up and put it on my breakfast toast. Yummy.
Where did yall start the journey? My Grandfather worked for Mr Callaway when he was beginning his farm. That was after working in the area at a CCC camp.It all brings back some great memories. I used to go peddlin' with my Uncle Clifford, with him driving that sweet 1966 green and white custom (F100 maybe or just plain custom) Ford to LaGrange, selling fresh eggs and home made cakes and pies to the "uppity ups" (Callways, and the likes) out of the back of his truck. Those were the days... I think he paid me about a dollar a day, but the tips from the maids made it worthwhile - could rake in $2 on a good day.
I love alternative fuel sourcesWhen I was a child my grandfather still pressed cane using a cane press at the farm in Johnson County. It was powered by a mule and a drunk uncle that would scream at the mule if it slow down.
