- It's not your regular syrup you'll find in any grocery store, and that's exactly the way Floyd Boyett likes it to be.

This story hits right to my heart for several reasons! There is a cane syrup mill not a mile from where I currently live that is still operational. I live in Northeast Louisiana and while our area of Louisiana isn't known like some of the state for cane syrup production, we hold our own, or have in the past. There are those farmers in areas just south of us, not a 30 min ride who have traded cotton and soybeans as their cash crop, in for cane. But the main reason it strikes home with me is because for 35 years my Daddy sold tractor parts to ALL our area farmers, big and small time! He worked for, as they called it in the beginning, Scott Truck and Tractor Co. and knew the farmers, what they grew, where they farmed, what equipment they had and in most cases could ask after their families and knew many of them, because a trip for parts was a trip to town. Being this close to that many farmers put us in a great position for the riches of the season! Pickup loads of peas, tomatoes, corn, and various other things that didnt always come by the truck load, like gallon cans of cane syrup! It was well into my late teenage years before there stopped being a large jar of cone syrup on the bottom shelf of our pantry! This is one of many of my fondest memories of childhood and not just because it tasted good! I think I always had an appreciation for how much work it took to make it and the love behind the giving. In my adult life I mirror that giving of my own wares and makins, and it's the surprise on people's faces at receiving something for nothing and the love in my heart that keeps me doing the things I do. So I understand this man, "giving it all away"! It's simply a labor of love! Thanks for this story, it's a keeper!
Nothing -- and I mean nothing -- tastes as good as pure cane syrup over hot buttered biscuits on a cold winter day! Thanks for keeping this syrup-making tradition alive. It's very difficult to find pure cane syrup anymore.
And, cane syrup and butter over hot cornbread!
A 'Breakfast' supper. . . Cornbread, sausage, eggs and cane syrup.
To die for!
Wholesome people, wholesome food, beautiful winter day. All given by God our father.
I’d say the weather cooperated, such a nice backdrop to an excellent story.
Another seasonal tradition like maple syrup in the Spring in Michigan
This is my favorite TCR episode!! I've wanted a copy of this for years! I've tried to find it at the festivals but no luck. I'm a happy Reporter Supporter!!!! :)
Liquid food from God. Now I'm craving a batch of fresh warm drop biscuits.
The simple life...so nice
Hopefully when I retire I can do what I want and let others enjoy also
might I ask for a couple pints kind sir?😆
Never had the opportunity to even taste it! Looks good.
Steens pure cane syrup is carried by many grocers. Fairly close in taste,
Take a road trip to East Texas in November. Pretty good little festival and can pick up some syrup. www.hendersontx.us/14/Heritage-Syrup-Festival
Love it!!! Any chance ya got any plantable nodes available for sale? Im trying to get my first patch up
Awesome.
Sounds sweet to me ☺️
I’d like to know more about his family’s ancestry and his reference to Jasper county. I was born in Kirbyville and my mother’s family has deep roots in Magnolia Springs, Zavala, and the Boykin Settlement. I was told once that a film crew (perhaps PBS), came to visit my grandparents at their home to watch them harvest sugarcane to make syrup. Any extra insight to his story would be a tremendous blessing and help to me. Thank you!
Good video. Look up Evans Farms sugar cane syrup. Thanks
i would like to learn how
Cool.
Is this sorghum?
Sugar Cane
This is sugar cane, sorghum is grown in dryer areas and used in a similar way
Steen's pure ribbon cane syrup. Nothing added nothing extracted
Blissful!
I was actually watching this while eating pancakes with Steen's Cane Syrup. Some of the best cane syrup commercially available.
When I was a little girl quite awhile ago, my Mama would buy some cane, in the grocery store, and just chew it. She always made us three girls have to some. I could not stand it. Never did, never will.
My aunt had a small patch of cane in her back yard that she maintained for us little girls to use for "make believe". When we were done playing she would cut a cane and we could have a small piece to eat. I didn't learn that tarantulas LOVE living in sugar cane until I was grown!.
