the fella that cuts and bales our hay makes sorghum, he has the old rig that his granddad had, it is one that runs by mule power,  tommy has put on an electric motor now and still uses it every year,  he has about 3 acres of cane planted this year. everybody that knew his granddad says it was the best sorghum they ever had,  Tommy says when his granddad was cookin it, he wouldn't let anybody near, so nobody reallly knows exactly how he made it.  Tommy says his is not as good as his granddad. or dads.

These folks make a mighty fine product, pictures are from another event in the fall of 2006:

that looks like Tommy's press except his has been rigged to an electric motor,   he has all the stainless buckets and cookers,  he said his Dad had at one time a copper cooker,  said it was a hugh pot, but it burned out before Tommy got the press,
his sorghum is good, but he says his Granddad's was better.

The secret more than likely is the copper kettle.  This one is not these folks, but belongs to the Filley barn, as well as the cooker and the stove, the just bring the stalks.  The set-up they have at home is much bigger.  But the horse runs it at home also.  they could put a 'lectric motor on it, but they don't have no place at home to plug it in. ;D

Del, It looks a little cool up there. That Belgian looks like he's got his winter coat. It would be a cool change from 90-100 days temps around here.

ya know that's kinda what Tommy and Levi think also,   Levi says he remembers when he was just a kid, Tommy's Granddad travelin around this part of the country and sitting up at different places and making sorghum for people, where they had grown cane.  he says it was a community event,

Tommy says when they burned out the copper pot that somebody came by and his granddad sold the old pot for $10,   Tommy always has his eyes out for another copper pot, but he hasn't found what he wants yet.

Don't understand it, but some things work better in copper, like merigune.

Del, When the word merigune, I think about cream pies,  especially banana or coconut.
