Hi Danny and Wanda!! I'm so glad I found your guys's channel and I want to say thank you for all that you do. I'm a Young Man that has recently woke up. Me and my wife are sucking up the knowledge you two are giving and improving our walk with the Lord everyday. I'm so glad I found somebody like you that's awake and educating us younger generation both ways physically and spiritually. The old common Sense ways of survival is dying and the world is so asleep most have no idea what's coming. I'm subscribed to both your channels loving it and learning a lot. Just wanted to say thanks again and hi from Wisconsin. May Jesus bless you and your family!!😀

[@ooohhitskaren63]

Also check out roots and refuge KZbin channel...they are homesteads as well and also walk with the lord. She has wonderful learning tips as well. Between the 2...you can get more rounded. I have several more channels I have learned off of as well.

[@chrishamill3170]

Brandon Waughtal what a thoughtful comment! Good luck to you and your wife. Danny and Wanda put out great information!

[@heidifrog7894]

Brandon, I have learnt so much from Danny & Wanda. They are a true blessing in my life. They have helped me walk with the lord & grow as a person. I wish you & your wife the best of luck 😀

I was raised on a farm. We used to raise sugar cane. We ground the juice of the cane stocks, using a cane mill. It would go round and round, while we fed cane stocks into it. The juice would come running out into a pan. Then we boil juice down, remove green bitter scrum from the top of the syrup as it cooked. Once done, poured into clean quart jars. Good stuff!

[@judyabernathy80]

Happy Father’s Day a bit late, Danny. It’s really raining here in Fort Worth, TX! We love it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@craftsandcrabgrass1859]

Homesteading definitely shows clearly how the circle of life goes. I grow a garden using compost made from eggshells, manure, and feathers from my chickens, then the chickens get the weeds from the garden, and both the garden and chickens provide us with food. It's a great feeling to be able to participate in it first-hand. I can imagine it's even more amazing for people like y'all who have even more livestock.

[@gulfcoastsouthernliving9108]

My grandfather William ''Andrew'' Watkins was a homesteader and evangelist his whole life and I missed the amazing amounts of knowledge that I could have received from him on grafting and gardening. He grew sugarcane every year. I believe he grew the ribbon cane and it was big and purple stalks. He had a masher that was driven by a big belt, like several inches wide. He would make syrup for everyone in the family, in which he had nine children and fed them from the land. He had a big metal table with sides on it with layed bricks under it with some access holes and it was in a little open building just for that purpose.. He was a concrete/brick layer by trade. He would build fires under it to heat the juice. He would push it back and forth and it would turn the color of the syrup. It was so good, I miss that. That was a memory from an eight year old little boy that is now 52.

[@gulfcoastsouthernliving9108]

Also you are right about the cane every where in south louisiana. I lived there a good while and it was every where. You didnt want to live close by when they burned the fields before loading the old school way. The rats would invade like crazy. I walked a many field as a young man planting cane the old way. We just pulled it out the cart and dropped it in a split open row. They would cut it and load it some times days before we planted or whatever reasons and it would be full of louisiana fire ants. it could be tough but we had to work to get that $5 an hour, hahaha

[@teg31-949]

Great video on the sugar cane, Danny. You do a wonderful job explaining everything! Thank you.

[@sheilafade2016]

Look at them cows how beautiful, nice cane patch

[@sarahosborn4996]

We live near Savannah/ S.E. GA. There's a VERY invasive weed here that has yellow flowers & is taking over the roadsides. It has a white "turnip" type of root and I haven't found anything yet that will eat it. If you don't pull those, it will never stop growing. It has almost a circular (I'm trying to think of how to describe it) but it blooms each spring tall yellow flowers and you have to yank the entire plant ASAP before they spread all over your yard. Great video and VERY helpful with my sugarcane. Thank you!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Could be yellow dock or wild mustard.

[@bumblebee7922]

You are SO wise Danny!!! Thank you for sharing your excellent knowledge with others! Bless you! :)

[@chuckchamplin6627]

Good Morning Danny and MS Wanda

[@monicarevey9911]

Wow. I never saw sugar before. I'm finding it very interesting.

[@amondokeosai5105]

Thank you so much Danny that’s great video

[@terrymannbluemoonsoapco.1377]

Danny, you are so wise and have such an awesome work ethic. Greetings from Waxahachie Texas

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

I loved learning about this! Our grandmother used to grow and harvest sugar cane and I have always wondered how they did it

[@barressugarsweetplace2680]

Grew up raising sugar cane and a mill around the corner in small town. Loved that time of year. If you wanted sugar and syrup you had to raise cane. Now I will stop on side of road to grab a cane to suck the juice raw lol. My son in law works at Dominos. Sugar producer of everyone now. Thanks for bringing some great memories !❤ Louisiana❤

[@spitfirered]

Thank you Danny and Wanda for explaining how the sugar cane grows and when to process it, I bet your Kids Danny had fun growing up with you, I learned something about weeds today too, I looked at what was in your hand and yep, just like ours here in Florida. Have A Blessed and Joyful Week👍💯💓😍

[@kikigamble4315]

Hi. I hope you had a great FATHER'S DAY yesterday !! I've emailed a couple KZbinrs who have hay cutting operations in Arkansas n Iowa n they don't use those chemicals on their natural growing hay. Peace to you and yours

[@meaniebeavers1112]

My mom had a great way for weeding it was two kids😆 she did let us take the salt shaker with us, because she knew a few radishes and tomatoes and cucumbers we’re going to disappear.

[@voiceinthewilderness2290]

Good morning. I learn so much from you. Thanks and have a blessed day.

[@billhunt892]

Morning Y'all , vey interesting.. its like early morning learning, maybe in the fall if Y'all sell some, I would like to buy some syrup ! Love your guys videos, Thanks.. very enjoyable!

[@melissahoney9913]

Good morning from Texas 🐮 I would love to grow sugar cane!💖

[@thelazyj8658]

Cane syrup is the best!

[@rockinpranch10]

Good Morning from TX

[@charmainemontgomery582]

Love learning about your sugar cane & the videos from start to finish 😊

[@normanrambo4189]

God bless ya'll. Love every video and learn something new every video as well. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@vmorganbogart]

Great informative video, as always. Danny, I noticed you didn’t let Ms Wanda run the zero turn through the sugar cane. LOL. Y’all have a blessed & abundant day. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

LOL Mrs Wanda would have MOWED down the cane!

[@johnliberty3647]

What you said about the deep root weed applied to Dandelions, i spread dandelion seeds in my yard to pull up Calcium... also chickens love them.

[@heidifrog7894]

Love the matching red! I so want to try growing sugar cane...just not sure I could find a way to process it! Something to investigate. 😁

[@pingpongpulver6611]

Nice, where I live we don't have cane, we have beets. But same difference I guess.

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Thanks for a great video

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Iv been watching some of your cane stuff and being from south La in cane country it's interesting on the different ways you do things than the farmers there. You grow with a lot more room between rows they plant with single eyes that are dropped in place. They also till and replant every season and rotate a crop of sowbean in from time to time and till that under on top of fertilizer to revitalize the ground. No offense it's just different and interesting especially the not tilling and replanting but every 3 years. Growing up I always wondered if you could do that and why they don't.

[@reneebrown2968]

I still like having bees. They are high maintenance but they also help to provide my food in pollination. I don't have enough land to plant sugar cane for sweetener but my beehive takes up little space.

[@molliejonte2732]

Weeding is good for anger management. Keeps you at peace.

[@heidifrog7894]

Mollie Jonte your comment had me in stitches 🤣😂 I couldn’t agree more!!!

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

Wisdom from Mr Danny 😁

[@junkinjodi]

I don't know y'all if I could mow down between that sugarcane about the time a spider got on me you'd lose about half the crop, LOL.

[@Flacadi]

Like the matching red shirts 👔

[@franpaterno486]

❤❤❤ your videos 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@dellrand3628]

Hi Danny if that is chambers bitters it seed pods are on the under side of the leaf,if you disturb it those seed pods will pop open sending seeds out like a hand grenade.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yeah we have it everywhere.

[@johnliberty3647]

Sorry I am late, do I need a doctors note? Morning coffee with Deep South Homestead. Howdy from North Carolina

[@daze4341]

Good morning.

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Yes that's the good sugar, as they can't GMO it !!! Up in northern MI we can't grow sugar cane. So have to stock up on it and have bee's. You 2 are work "horse's". You do more in the first 3 hours of the day then most people do in a week or longer. Always enjoy watching and learning. Thank's. Stay safe and healthy. God bless.

[@robertchall8576]

I would like to have some ham and cane syrup. Do you crank the mower and jump. off and let it turn the mill

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

No it has to be rode.

[@lindalance6428]

Thanks for sharing this information.

[@CarolynDeasonmusiclistener]

Wow! Video is very well done. Photographer and videographer did fantastic quality job. Thanks Danny for sugar cane info. I order on AMD 10 lbs in one pound PC for 27.50. Do you sell it? Thank you.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We only make syrup with ours.

[@patriciabrandenburg7207]

Ok I have a few questions. After watching you sugar cane videos correct me if wrong but the cane you raise can’t be raised in Kentucky because we receive snow and freezing weather. I did notice that it looks different than what I’ve see around here. So my question is. What type of cane would you recommend for me to grow? Yes this would be my first time.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

You could grow sorghum cane.

[@vickycarroll7555]

Is sweet sorghum the same thing as sugar cane...I have some seeds...I plan to plant soon.will it come back next year..is it too late for western Kentucky...I planted April 11th and have lots ready...green peas squash etc..radishes turnips....

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Sorghum is different from sugarcane. Check your days to maturity and see if you have that many days left before a frost.

[@dustinroberts6771]

Good morning guys. Do you know how to kill morning glories. They choked my garden out a few years ago, and almost made me stop gardening . I just started doing it again it’s a small one. But I’ve been watching and I’m trying to do something.

[@LunaTic-pe9yr]

You just have to keep them hoed/pulled up before they seed. The seed will live years in the soil.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Constant weeding is the best before they seed. We use to have them bad.

[@andreanash7646]

What effect does Grazon have on the meat of animals that consume the contaminated hay?

[@ritzbitz2000]

Curious where you guys source your sugar cane stock. I think they grow a lot of sorghum here (TN)

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I've had this for over 20 years.

[@brucechakur9431]

Hi Danny we are homesteading in North fl where can we get some sugar cane to grow Jackie

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I will have it this fall for sale.

[@brucechakur9431]

Wonderful I will be ready thank you you and Wanda have a blessed day Jackie

[@carolparrish194]

You are always in the garden and I see you in the tall sugar cane and weeds. I have a very important question to ask you. HOW DO YOU KEEP THE CHIGGERS AND TICKS OFF. I AM GETTING EATING ALIVE. I WAS NOT EVEN IN HIGH GRASS. PLEASE HELP ME.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

They don't bother me. Usually it's a thiamine defiency thats attracts insects to people.

[@davemeeks8109]

I beg to differ with you my friend regarding bee keeping. I've been a bee keeper for 35 years and only been stung twice. Do bee swarm, yes they do but that is simply a part of the queen replacement bee city process. One of my hives has been the same hive for 16 years and they swam each year and sometimes twice a year. My bees have won me countless blue ribbon at state fairs and the fact that 3 of my brother in laws also raise bees,it really pisses them off. And as you know without bees as pollinators this planet would be down to about half of what we now enjoy.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I raised bees for years and in our heat disease was constantly destroying the hives. I agree they are natures pollinators.

[@dallasgardener3166]

Danny, when mowing between the sugar cane rows your shoulders brush against the plants- do you have chiggers? If so, what do you use to keep them off? Thanks

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I've never been bothered by them.

[@dallasgardener3166]

You are very lucky, they drive me crazy!

[@deborahwagner9033]

good morning

[@kprairiesun]

For their videos by subject, just click on the channel name below this video and then on Playlists and scroll down to sugar cane, etc

[@alanhayes3156]

How did your water collection system do on the Cabin during the tropical storm?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Worked perfect.

[@paulblankenship7865]

A horse is like a bucket with a hole in it 🤣🤣. That was funny right there!

[@ashhill9650]

My son has a huge hay field , and never spray's it now some people refuse to cut it for hay because it does have a few weeds . I just don't understand some people .

[@timjones1583]

Where do you buy sugar cane seed??

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

You dont use seeds you use pieces of the stalk.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Can sugar cane take any freezing temperatures at all?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It can stand a frost not a freeze.

[@acecowboy1982]

Looks like that other weed is Tropical Girdlepod

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

After researching it. That's right it's gilderpod.

[@melindalemmon2149]

3 years? I thought the whole patch was harvested annually.

[@gulfcoastsouthernliving9108]

it has to be replanted after 3 yrs of annual crops

[@09echols]

💖

[@metamud8686]

Re: sugar canes vs bees: Do sugar canes also pollinate your crops? ^_^

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

No but honey bees do very little for garden pollinating. It's mostly done by bumble bees and other bee's . Honey bees mainly pollinate fruit trees and corn crops here.

[@mariehenriksen67]

@Paul P I wouldn't mind having both. I use honey in several ways for medicinal use. Sugar cane would be good for cooking and syrup.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

@Paul P there is always lots of honey bees in mine.

[@jerrypeacock5166]

Native bees( many are known as sweat bees), bumble bees, carpenter bees, ants, and some wasps are pollinators here.

[@tanyag3107]

The "weed" that you did not have an ID for appears to be Northern bugleweed (Lycopus uniflorus) or one of its varieties. Main characteristic being square stem and sets of opposite leaves rotating 90 degrees between sets on the stem. It is not poisonous, but it belongs to the mint family of plants, so no wonder herbivores won't touch it (although it may not appear aromatic to humans). Is the stem hollow inside? My ID needs to be confirmed so please do your own research. The official distribution map for the plant would tell you it's not supposed to be present in your state... however.. I did see people reporting in the comment sections online that they have seen this plant in MS.. Here is a link to a site with detailed description to help: www.friendsofthewildflowergarden.org/pages/plants/bugleweed_northern.html If this is indeed northern bungleweed, it's not a bad plant. It's a native wildflower with edible tuber root and medicinal qualities of the foliage. Keep up the good work and sharing with us! Hugs.

[@pms1953]

Danny I believe if they tied your hands you couldn’t talk. I just notice how big your hands are.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yeah I have large hands.

[@ginawyatt4335]

Bucket with a hole in it . No doubt we dont feed anything that doesn't have some kind of a return
