    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 CZcams channel but we’ve been helping an off grid CZcamsr 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.

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.

    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 CZcams 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.

    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

    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.

  • @thelittlelearningfarm622

    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.

  • @WKUHilltopper

    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

    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?
