[Syrupmakers] Sorghum planting depth

[Ken Christison]

Jay,

I plant my cane about an inch deep.  That is the depth setting I use, 
but it is probably more like a half inch by the time the presser wheel
packs it down.

I think most folks grow their sorghum in rows, but I am sure there are 
some folks who grow it in hills.

Take care.

Ken
