Billy, Michelle & William. I so enjoyed this video. I think it was the first time I had seen Michelle's beautiful smile! You all are such a beautiful family, inside & outside. What a Blessing that you & Justro have each other. I told my Daughter about you all & she said that she wishes that we lived close to you all. So do I! My Daughter has a 16 year old son who has Never had a Male Mentor or Role Model in his life. You guys would be so good for him.
It’s heartwarming to see y’all helping each other. Sure wish I lived closer. Following Justro’s lead from last year, I planted sorghum cane this year. Chickens and the turkey ate most of the seeds, but I had about 10-15 canes grow. I fed the stalks to the pigs and threw the heads to the chickens. I might plant more next spring in a larger planting to provide more free pig and chicken feed.
We here in North Idaho have created a community. My husband and I do not have a RUclips channel but we’ve been helping an off grid RUclipsr Kuz We Kan Farms and a couple others. We feel blessed to be able to do this. In turn we know if we needed anything they would be there helping us. It’s all about community. We like mined people need to stick together.
This sorghum syrup is a prized sugar in the pastry arts. The seeds are popped like a tiny popcorn & garnished on foo foo deserts. Jethro you are a gourmet growing mountain man. When I chef'd at the Breakers in Palm Beaches this was one of the products we love to test out.
Brings back memories of a neighbor's assistance from the 50s -70s! Life was so different during those times! Differently hard to find it today! On the other hand in Guangxi, I can see it ALL the time! Our family tree has 75 + local farms that, I visit while abroad! Even those who are in the cities return home for 1to 2 weeks during harvesting. It's a given attitude and way of life of businesses that their employees can enjoy. Our uncle and wife at 100 yo, share with other farmer in Guilin mountains... now my wife's farmland. It's a great function of a wonderful lifestyle.
We, Zulus in Africa, use red "sour" sorghum to make Zulu beer. When made well, it becomes very sweet. It is regarded as rude not to take a swig if it is offered or it is there. Back in the day, when you needed work done, you would make sorghum, slaughter a cow and people would come work for free and they would eat afterwards. Nowadays, you might get some people to do that but most people want money. That is why pre-colonial Bantus in Africa were self -sufficient in food production. Red sorghum also grows like a weed in the mountains and red clay. It us also drought resistant. I have about 400 trees in my garden.
You do not know how much I have wanted to talk to you guys. I have a small urban garden and I follow a couple of US RUclips channels for how to prepare soil, till, grow and also store the food I make. In my country, my people got here about 500 years ago from India, South America, US and Phillipines where you still find a lot of Bantu people, the largest African group. The Zulu kingdom was formed after the end of slavery because the end of slavery led to a vacuum in leadership so, our King Shaka formed a new Kingdom in early 1800s by combining the Mthethwa Zulus who came from America to Nigeria to Southern Africa through Sofala, Mozambique with the Ndwandwe Zulus who came from Goa, India (now part of Pakistan and Sri Lanka) called Siddi or Zwide. There are 800,000 Zulus living in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka today as an ethnic minority. Yes, they were noblemen, slaves and normal people. In South East Asia, you still have Papua New Guinea, Western Papua province of Indonesia and a large black presence of indigenous black people from Africa through India, China, but from Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan regions. Technically speaking we are descendants of slaves also but we do not harped about it at all. In fact, a decision 2qs taken not to discuss it, so most people don't know that slaves were released all the world ended up in Africa. Anyway, I am engaging with my government on getting more land and support and I would have liked to chat to you guys even more. I got so much to talk about. I bought 4 Comfrey trees 2 months ago. Now, I have 10 and growing. I am planning on making a liquid fertilizer made of Comfrey, Cow dung, kitchen scraps and specifically waste from that particular fruit or product to increase fruit size on my annual plants. I would like to keep contact as there might be stuff I am looking for that is hard to come by in my country such as handheld planters, weeders etc. Or particular plants such as rubber, cocoa and a lot more. So, please send me a way we can chat further offline if you are interested. I understand if you aren't. I firmly believe that in the highly likely scenario that governments and countries will be torn apart, international trade will be done by individual interconnected individuals like you and me. God already told me He had chosen me to introduce the latest and organic farming methods to the post-modern "New World" that is inevitable. Learning and keeping in tandem with guys like you will ensure that we stay "connected", (know what I mean) regardless of the circumstances of our "governments". Anyway, Godspeed, and I will keep on watching. Regards to the family.
Great video. I really like these vids that show old time ways and crops that most people have forgotten about. A lot of them can and need to be brought back and made to be the staple they once were.
I so agree about being a huge blessing when helping folks. When I do, I get a bigger blessing. Thx for helping Justro. He's a good guy just like yalls family. Blessings, julie
you thinking about Palsy (droopy face)? My mother is 92 and her father made sorghum molasses. She remembers she and her siblings would ride the mule that turned the stones that ground the sorghum and they would chew on a piece of cane - it was a treat for them. My grandfather's nickname was sorghum...lol I watch Justin all the time
We just had our “Sorghum Stomp” last weekend and it was a huge success! Our niece and nephew grew it in our garden and our moms garden for the 2nd year! ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That was a great learning and laughing experience. So glad he's getting stuff caught up. NEXT TIME CALL ME TOO BOTH PLACES WE CAN GET A WORK COMMUNITY TOGETHER. SERIOUSLY. ❤️👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this video guys. Never seen this done but loved it, plus you guys had so much fun! Nothing like community coming together to help each other out like this, just like our ancestors did. Justin in my opinion is a master mind with all of his inventions! Love you all. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻❤️🙌🏻😊
I enjoyed learning something new today! Thanks! Also, my compliments to William on the excellent videography and editing. He always does such a great job.
Billy was talking about Bell's palsy . So many favorite people together. Is my millet or broom corn a cousin to sorghum? The seed heads are great grains ,
Learning something new today. We bought a bunch of sorghum seeds from Justin at SRF in Camden, TN. I can't wait to plant them and see how they turned out. I wonder how are they different or same in taste as sugar cane which is what I grew up with in my country, Laos. THANK YOU.
Good honest work , like my dad said you can’t cheat stripping or cutting heads on sorghum or ribbon cane , We use to grow and cook every year , need to get started back . Good video
Great video! Did you all happen to find out the exact name of that sorghum? Also, will you be showing the other half of harvesting it for the syrup? I would love to grow some next year as a trial for my family. Thanks so much.
This is actually quite interesting for me.... My G Grand and Grand father's ran a Mill in Williamstown NY and they came up with a product call sweetall that was used to get cows to eat grain and from what my father said sweet sorghum was what they used.
That’s what friends do for each other when one friend needs help another goes and does what they can expecting nothing in return. The problem this day and time is most people except something in return
I grew some this year, didn’t make syrup. No mill/press. I did save the seed and it was a full day of cutting and removing seed from the head. Another day of rubbing the hull off the outside with finger tips. It’s ready to dry some and be stored. Granted he’s got far more than I grew😂
That’s pretty interesting. Supposedly I had a great uncle that made the best sorghum molasses around. People would come from other counties just to buy it. I guess this was around the early teens or early 20s. He used a mule to squeeze out the juice. This would’ve been in hart county Kentucky. Unfortunately I don’t know much else about the process. So I hope you all do a follow up and processing video. Thanks
I've kept bees on and off for a few years and have a few gallons of my honey, and for many things, I still prefer Sorghum Molasses. Luckily there's still a bit of trade in the area (NE Arkansas) to get it local.
Very interesting!!! i have been thinking about trying to grow things to feed chicken and turkeys. This can feed my fowl and I can end up with a sweet threat too.
the same reason my manager at a food place didn't want me to peel the dirt layer off the carrots , yield and profit over quality are the reasons in mass manufacture that less quality parts aren't stripped from the plants.
Here in Nebraska, some farmers grow cane, which is similar to corn or sorghum but harvested, dried and baled strictly for livestock feed. So my question is - couldn't you feed the leaves off the sorghum to cattle, goats, sheep - maybe even chickens?
I need some comphy for seed i have watched your veido and i see you given it to your chickens i have a beautiful westria tree and some apple trees i want it for
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
My parents raised me churchgoing and they volunteered me so much that the habit of volunteering took root and grew into a spinal reflex.
Had a bunch of fun! Thank you all so much!!!
So did we brother! Thank you!

Love the look HH gave the PP when he called her a good study!
I love how y’all always have fun with every job!! Laughing makes it so much easier!!

Very cool! We just went to a sorghum festival in our area a couple weeks ago. Picked up a pint and can't wait to eat some on biscuits.
That sounds pretty good!
Excellent! Thank you all! :)
Thank you my friend!
We just got ours done and it's fun to gain knowledge from others. Blessings
It really is my friend. I couldn’t agree more! God bless

It’s always a joy to learn from him!
I’ve never seen this so thanks for sharing this with us!
YAY for Justin!
Of course my friend! It was such a fun video to make!
I enjoyed learning something new today! Thanks!
Also, my compliments to William on the excellent videography and editing. He always does such a great job.
Have to add, she's the best baker on the mtn? Let's see what she does with that grain!
I’m excited to see what she does with it too!
That is so cool. Thank You !
It really is neat! Thanks for watching Kim!
Billy was talking about Bell's palsy . So many favorite people together. Is my millet or broom corn a cousin to sorghum? The seed heads are great grains ,
Yall stay cool 😎

Awesome Mandie! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm very excited to see this process.
We’re excited too! Should be very interesting!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 I grew up eating ribbon cane syrup. I'm thinking this is very close to that.
Good honest work , like my dad said you can’t cheat stripping or cutting heads on sorghum or ribbon cane , We use to grow and cook every year , need to get started back . Good video
Thanks so much my friend!
Great video! Did you all happen to find out the exact name of that sorghum? Also, will you be showing the other half of harvesting it for the syrup? I would love to grow some next year as a trial for my family. Thanks so much.
Is it SUGAR DRIP (SWEET SORGHUM)
Sorghum bicolor
?
Y'all are good friends. How interesting!!
Thank you my friend!
This is actually quite interesting for me.... My G Grand and Grand father's ran a Mill in Williamstown NY and they came up with a product call sweetall that was used to get cows to eat grain and from what my father said sweet sorghum was what they used.

Exactly Lynn! Thanks so much for watching!

Stripping it down work as chop n drop
Gr8 vlog! Thx 4 the info.
Thank you so much my friend!

This is fabulous. I need to get some sorghum flour and juice. Does have all directly?
Bells palsey?
I'll bet that is what Billy was trying to come up with!
I was thinking the same thing- Bells Palsy
Here in Nebraska, some farmers grow cane, which is similar to corn or sorghum but harvested, dried and baled strictly for livestock feed. So my question is - couldn't you feed the leaves off the sorghum to cattle, goats, sheep - maybe even chickens?
This guy puts a lot more effort into the stripping process and cleaning the cane than anyone ive seen but i definitely agree with his theory about it.
Would like to know his process the de-hull the seed.
👍🏽
I’m thinking stilts might help.
Terminator here, hello Billy, I was wondering if you can ship your bone sauce to Canada. I love your video's
Let me check on that and get back to you!
Mmmm! Mmmm! Gonna be some sweet eating sorghum here shortly!❤❤😊
I'd want it to make seed for my chickens and me. I'd keep the more ripe seeds for me and planting and the milky seeds for my chickens
Awesome Renee!
Can you give the leaves to your livestock?
It looks easier to strip than sugar cane. At least on video. :)
I need some comphy for seed i have watched your veido and i see you given it to your chickens i have a beautiful westria tree and some apple trees i want it for
Now i gotta look up sorghum. No idea what it is.
Must be type of sugar
Like sugar cane
