standing in the cane patch. This cane has never been irrigated. It's
1/4 mile from my well, so we just pray for rain on this end of the patch

Georgia Red Cane This is the large bore, soft red cane that,
in my opinion, makes the best syrup. With almost 3 months left to grow,
I expect to get a gallon of juice from 3 to 4 stalks.

Old Variety from the Okefenokee This is a very old variety from the Okefenokee
Swamp in South Georgia. It has extremely long joints, (12" and longer),
and is always green at the bottom of joint and red at the top. It was
the number 1 choice for making brown sugar. It also makes good syrup,
but tends to sugar quickly even if pulled at 33 on the hydrometer. Has
very sweet juice for drinking.
