Jim, 
    We have an SSA member in Shelby who does both sorghum syrup and sugarcane syrup. He is Willie Cook. I also know a man at McCalla who does sorghum syrup--David Holland. At Calera, Steve Smith cooks both. If you want phone #'s for any of these, contact me by email.

I don't know about syrupmakers in that area (and I'm NOT one!) ... but
they always make syrup at the Shelby Iron Works Festival every fall.
That is near Columbiana, probably about 1.5 hours from Tuscaloosa.  I
found this page with some pictures from 2002:
    http://www.syrupmakers.com/shelby/
and their website seems to be:
    http://www.shelbyironworks.com/
but it doesn't have this year's dates.  The organizers sometimes read
this list, so maybe they can post the dates for this year!?  From past
dates I can find, it seems to be the 2nd weekend in October pretty
often...

They grind and make syrup both Saturday and Sunday, as long as they have
cane...  and they've made both sorghum and sugar cane syrup in the past
(both last year?) ... I don't know what they are growing for this year.
