As a teenager in Letcher, County, I attended "stir-offs" of molasses ! Many people there & enjoyable.

In missouri my uncles both set aside 5 acres to produce sorghum to use when mixing together a finishing mash for our beef cattle. I remember my aunt marrabel doing the cook down in the barn. I thin it produced somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 55gal. drums to be utilized for both table molases and for the cattle and other livestock. Pigs love the stuff mixed in their mash and frankly the sheep and oats were quite happy as well for the treat. Along with the pulverized stalks that wer put in a ag grain mixer. All the chickens, ducks and geese wee happy with the stalk feed as well. A great all around feed plant that hasnt outlived it's usefulness. Great vid, and I appreciate seeing the old school way of doing the molasses on a small scale.

I have good friends who do this in Bethune SC. They have a large covey of kids (like we do) and it is a real family event. They Usually cook up a picnic or two on the smoker to help feed the crew while the juice is boiling. They use cane they raise as well.
I have not seen cane here in Chile but they do have a lot of other sugar producing products here like Sugar beets and potatoes.
This was a very well researched and produced video. Thanks

Well, this is just fantastic. As a (literal) student of history, I really appreciate your thorough research and well presented video. It's a nice touch that you put the effort into compressing the audio (making sure we weren't blasted with loud noises).
