[Syrupmakers] Cooked Sorghum this weekend

[Joseph Castle]

We'll start stripping later this week, have roughly 2 acres (although we
might not cut all of it -- but some has blown down and some is just
absolutely choked with morning glories. but most of it is in good shape).
Then, we'll start milling a week to 10 days after we cut. I'll try to get
some photos of the process.

Good to see that the rain didn't hurt your sorghum making, I know you
probably still need the rain.
