We had 12 acres of cane. Pa had one of the most efficient operations. Cooked with propane. Took gallon of gas to make gallon of syrup. His last year of growing cane ended when he finished paying off the full time worker and the worker had more money in his hand than he did. Dennis made $8.00 a day. Back in the late 60's.
We used to Make Syrup Similar to your Setup.............We Started around 2 am and made 12-14 Gallons of Finished Product Twice a Day (2 Batches a day) for 3 Weeks every Day. Hard Work, No Sleep hardly, Great Memories....We had a Car Rear End Vertical beside the Mill with Gears and Chain running off a Tractor PTO( In South Mississippi )
@@jfarmall77 We used the white cane and had the most purest and clearest syrup around, people come from two states over every year to get syrup from us.
@@jfarmall77 Our syrup was the cleanest and purest in in our neck of the woods, we had people from two states over in every direction coming for it, awesome on pancakes.
I wish I knew of someone around Louisiana that did this it's a cool process. A girl I dated long ago her friend dads family did this. They looked at me as a city boy but I thought it was really cool how family came together to help up and just spend time.
+welderman27 They used to do it at Old Farmers Day in Loranger, La. out side of Hammond. I think Old Farmer's Day is listed by the Lt. Gov. office of Louisiana Fairs and Festivals. I think it's held late Sept. or early Oct.
Hello, I am from India now relocated to Redmond, Seattle. In India, we call it "KAKVI" . It's very good for health and I take it regularly. But the problem is I don't find Sugar Cane syrup in any US Super Market. How do I get it in US West Coast?
Sure wish I knew where to get one of those big hydrometer's. I am a home brewer and use a hydrometer to check sugar content. the one I have is hard for me to read.
Is there a way to contact the syrup maker I am curious as to where he got his sugar kettle as I am looking for a decent sized one but having difficulty finding any
Excellent! Thank you for making and posting this video.
Making my mouth water . My grandpa who lived in Newton county Ms always made this syrup. Omgoidness I want some so bad now.

nimy mumbai try eBay.
We do the samething in our area!
What hydrometer range we have to store that syrup ?
My grandmother used to cook syrup. Leaps and bounds tastier than store bought. Incomparable.🥳😇🫶🏾
Hi guys, does anyone know the final sugar content @6:39 ? Also, how long does this last stored at room temperature?
Thanks a lot
Sure wish I knew where to get one of those big hydrometer's. I am a home brewer and use a hydrometer to check sugar content. the one I have is hard for me to read.
search a place called northern brewer there out of St. Paul Minnesota they sell the hydrometers.
Yes you are well recognised
Can you send to seattle?
Love sugar cane
I mean i want know about the Brix of the syrup by observing the hydrometer

"someone fed the cane into the crusher" wow i wonder who
Unlimited maaaan
Why none of the blacks that were the ones who mostly cut the cane. Also, the blacks did a lot of the syrup making.
Why is all the cane syrup I see black? That looks like molasses.
Yes. You are well recognized
My whatsup no +917088471095
I'm indian
That is because of the Blue Ribbon Mississippi cane. It comes out more dark than other varieties but I assure you that is 100% cane syrup.
Wonderful
