Hello . I'm from Uzbekistan and I'm studying for a master's degree at the National University here. My scientific direction is sugar sorghum . I really like your technology. Our country does not have this technology. I would like to introduce the technology of extracting sorghum syrup and bioethonol to my country. Can you help me with the technology of extracting sugar sorghum juice?
"half good" first effort Ben! No mention that Oberholtzer's is a processing center for crops produced all over the region? No mention of how the terms used to describe "sorghum" vary by the location? No mention of the Amish & Mennonite community? No mention that the entire processing facility sits idle for 10 months of the year?
😀 Thank you! Oberholtzer sorghum is all raised within several miles of the mill, as far as I know. That is not a very large "region". 2. I am sure what folks call sorghum varies! :-) 3. Could mention the Amish and Mennonite community, but these folks are not attempting to use that to sell their product. 4. Sorghum is definitely a seasonal product! 😄
Hello @petelieske517 I am not sure where you are from, but here in the US, these are popularly referred to as greenhouses, whether that is proper or not.
Sorghum Season is on! Stop by at Oberholtzers Sorghum today and see the action yourself! Make sure to buy your own jar of super fresh syrup, and mention this video! Address: 185 Sloan Fork Rd. Liberty KY 42539
I grew up in a farming family in Wyoming. We grew sugar beets and in the fall at the end of harvest we made beet syrup similar to sorghum. I love to use it and sorghum in my meads n lagers as well as my bbq. Not to mention when we have hocks n beans with cornbread n sorghum. It just works so good together. If ever I have the opportunity to pass through Kentucky, I hope to do so during the syrup season. Thanks for posting
How do I get in touch with this farm to order? In your description is only a link for some cool drones but not what I'm looking for. Please include a means for contact in description. Thank you!
You'd think they'd have a funeral tent out there with a handful of picnic tables under it and a few of the ladies would be making pan after pan of biscuits for soppin' in the syrup.
Not funny. Yes children sometimes like to be involved in family fun even at 3 AM! Maybe you don't have children. And if you do, I wonder if they are the strong, healthy, happy children that these are..... Our society needs more families who get outside and do things together.
My wife is an Oberholtzer (there are many) from Montgomery County PA, 10th generation descendent from one of the first Oberholtzer’s to settle in Franconia (Land of the Franks) township.
There is a Sorghum Fest each Oct. in Blairsville Georgia. They crush it and cook it right in front of your eyes. They also sell the hot buttered biscuits for the sorghum to go right on! MMMMMM It' worth the trip if you're close.
As I started watching, I noticed something about your name that sounded very familiar. Then I looked in my pantry, and sure enough, I have a jar and it's absolutely delicious!
Saw this made over 60 years ago when they used to use horses to grind the stalks and boiled it over an open fire in old black pots. I haven't had any for years but I remember that I really liked it on toast. Do you sell it on line anywhere???
Old country stiroffs with the mules or poppin John tractors are a long lost tradition in the hills of Appalachia. A bunch of tow headed boys cuttin the cane and packing it on our shoulders to the cane mill. Such good memories of days gone by?
It's just a type of large grass looks a lot like corn but doesn't have any cobs on it. Its also called Sudan grass and is normally used as cattle feed.
@@zimmermanphotography No not really There's one chemical in there that is higher concentration and sorghum versus seudan grass but considering the fact I live right where almost all of it's raised in the United States and especially a shit on more than what raised by where you're at I'll take that bet!
Ever since I was a kid I have always loved sorghum. I love the rich dark sweet taste. I'm 51 years old now and still enjoy your fine product. I even bought two jars instead of one this time. Thank you to all people who are dedecated to harvesting and processing sorghum. I will continue to enjoy it.
Thanks for your comment! There is truly very little that compares in the sweet taste of this syrup.. Put it on some hot biscuits, or take a spoonful just by itself, and you will be back!
