[@plumberrygardenpatch4869]

I had to pause the video to tell you how happy the expression “flat as a flitter” made me. My grandmother was the only person I have ever heard use that phrase and she passed away in 1984. I’m enjoying your cane videos and learning much about the process. I have wondered for years if I could grow some and make the syrup on a very small home scale. Where I live now it isn’t always easy to find the good stuff and sometimes on a cold day you just gotta have some cornbread and molasses. Seeing your demo with the board shows me that I can figure out a way do it one of these days.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It made my day. That is the year I was born❤️

[@vanessakristle7599]

Glad you and the girls are on the mend. Thank you for the cane mill instructions, I like the music it makes as the gears turn. Take care of yourself and I look forward to your next video!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Vanessa. Yes I like the sound as well. Will do it!

[@lwons1313]

Justro, I sure did like this video today. I enjoyed seeing how the cane mill works. I had never seen this process before! Make sure Bear gets an extra treat tonight for the long day of guarding he put in today! I love Bear! Praying you and girls are back to 100% very soon!

So happy you guys are getting better. Don’t over do it and relapse. Yes let me know when I can meet up to get sorghum.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Aw thank you Meashell. I appreciate you and will do.

Man you are high-tech, all I’ve ever seen make sorghum is the use of mules. But then again I don’t get out much…. lol. That is a slick machine!!

[@hawkrose8403]

I can imagine you needeing lots of lubricant for those gears. You actually just talked about a reservoir that helps them gesrs run smooth. I could watch you squeeze cane all day.

[@metcalfmills5679]

It is a fun process to watch for sure. The big gears don’t really need lubricating, the old cast was formulated to last long. Thank you! 🙂

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

I’m so sorry y’all have been sick, I’ll pray for Gods healing hand upon each of you 🙏🏻 I’m certainly glad your safe from any threats out there, Bear looks like he will be all rested up if he needs to defend you 🤣🤣 But you sure make me nervous trying to film that running equipment, moving around and pointing out the workings ……..be careful !!!! I’m grateful you have permapasture farms so close and y’all can help each other ! As always, great video and wonderful to see that beautiful smile ! Blessings

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much! Yes Bear is ready for anything 😆 I try not to take it for granted, I know what it can do, thank you for the reminder and I sure will. I am thankful as well. Glad you enjoyed and bless you

[@grandmaatthefarm125]

Flat as a Flitter! Haven't heard that one in a few years.....Justro, I never realized just how similar pressing sorghum was to squeezing sugar cane. We have a vertical cane press and use an antique tractor to drive the press. We love spending a full day every February making cane syrup. Blessings to you! Thanks for sharing.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much!

[@homesteadingpastor]

Enjoyed this one Justro, I love watching this process of how things use to be done and I’m so glad that you are keeping this practice alive today. I love hearing about your old stories from days gone by. I’m so glad you and the girls are feeling better, we will continue to pray for y’all’s complete healing. GOD BLESS YALL 😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the kids

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much!

[@jvin248]

We did maple syrup back on the farm and cold nights ice would form in the sap buckets -- the ice was pure water increasing sugar content of what remained. You might experiment with taking your sorghum juice and partially freezing it to remove the ice block before spending all day boiling. Let that ice block melt out and recheck your brix from the ice water and the remaining juice to see if it helps.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I font have anyway to freeze it but I bet that would work.

I remember my granddaddy giving me a piece of sugar cane to chew on. I am pretty sure he was disappointed that I did not love it like he did. I was too used to the refined white sugar to appreciate the flavor from the cane juice.

Do you know of any cane mills available up there every one I've found over here hasn't been touched for decades and not gonna be touched for decades. Tore down my meadows today. Not as bad as I thought the main shaft is gonna need some work . All new babits will have to be poured, it's been ran dry and what grease was in them was hard as plastic.

The leftover canes would be good for pigs and compost, wouldn’t it?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

That is fascinating Justin. I bet some ole farmers lost some digits back in the day working on one of those with the exposed gears like that. Is the juice good enough to drink fresh like that? It appears like it would be good. The verticle cane mills is the only one I have ever seen. I am like you, I like this horizontal one as you have.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes the juice is good to just drink. I have heard some stories about cane mills and gears. The only thing is that the juice might tun down a vertical mill rollers better, but I font know that it makes any difference. Thank you!

[@creinicke1000]

Here in Phoenix I grew sugar cane this summer. It was in a raised bed that gets watered.. it started off with a few green twigs I got from Amazon and grew to way over 10 ft clump about 2 ft found. At least 30 tall canes. I finally cut it a couple weeks ago ( in my climate it never really stops growing but it was getting so big and older canes were turning brown) I tried to taste it but didn't really find it very sweet, so should I do something different to get sweet? (I did hear to leave canes lay to get sweeter but not very practical in my yard) I grew for fun and now I'm leaving a few pieces to root in water to replant in a different spot for next year, but without a machine to squeeze it I'm not sure how I can process it. This year it all went into the trash.. so sad.. but the crushers I've seen on Amazon are just too expensive and overkill for my small simple use, anyone have alternatives?

[@metcalfmills5679]
