[Syrupmakers] when to plant

[Tracy Baudoin (tbaudoin)]

Most years, we'll plant in late August/early September.  However, this year had some late cold fronts and a very wet Spring, so the plant cane has been slow to mature.  Therefore, I'm waiting another month or so, hoping that we won't have a wet September/October planting season.  I've also seen some commercial farmers plant during first harvest in mid October, but that is not preferable here in extreme Southern Louisiana.
