Thanks for all your help.
 
Stacy have you made your syrup yet, if so how did the dry weather affect
your cane?   Billy, we will be cooking ours Thanksgiving Day.  I watered
ours and we did get rain on it at times when we needed it.  My POJ looks
real good, the Yellow looks worse than any of the rest for some reason.
Daddy and Grandaddy always taught me that a pretty stalk of cane will not
always make a good bottle of syrup.  In fact some of the worst syrup that we
have ever made in the 30 years that we have been at this was from some of
the biggest, prettiest cane that I think I have ever seen, but the syrup was
not good.  But some of the best syrup that we have ever made came from poor
looking cane that was produced during drought years.  A couple weeks ago we
cooked a couple boilings for a friend that the cane was POJ and kind of
poor, but it did make some good syrup!
 
Don my cane looks just like the POJ you have on your site.
 
Have any of you ever tried any of the Yellow Gal for syrup, if so what do
you think of it?
 
Thanks again I really appreciate all of you help.
 
Billy

Billy, 
We have some Georgia red, Green, and POJ and usually make at least 1 80
gallon boiling of each.  By far, we prefer POJ as it seems to give us a much
milder tasting syrup that does not seem to sugar as quickly.
 
Take Care!

I have a question for all of the makers of Syrup from Sugar Cane.   What
Varieties makes the best Syrup?   I have some cane that I got from a family
member that I have been growing for several years that I think is a POJ type
cane.  It makes good syrup but it breaks really bad if you cut it a week or
two before grinding.  Any suggestions will be appreaciated.   I would like
to try something new.   Do any of you grow the CP 67-500?
 
Thanks to all that makes this site possible
