That is so awesome! Post pics so we can see!
Here in the south, sorghum syrup used to be the big thing. A mule walked in a circle to run the mill. People fed the cane stalks in, the mill squeezed the juice out. Evaporator pans were approximately 4’x8’ under a pole type shed to keep the rain out. A fire was kept burning under it and other people kept stirring and scooping the foam off. When the syrup was thick enough, it was drawn off and packed in cans with lids. I remember as a little girl eating biscuits and sorghum syrup at my grandparents in the fall and winter.
Baymule, I have seen this done in Oklahoma. Pretty fascinating. I didn't realize they did it in Texas. Cool! Love LOVE LOVE sorghum.
