[Syrupmakers] when to plant

[Peter Tebbetts]

I lost most all my cane due to 2 hard freezes. What did come back only has a joint or 2 growth. Guess I'll plow some ground to kill grass next weekend and plant some September cane. Anyone around Louisiana have any Ga Red or some good soft varieties that make good syrup. Not interested in any commercial varieties intended for sugar manufacturing. I have some Ga Red from last year and it still hasn't turned to sugar yet.

P. S. I go through Houma about 4 days a week and the Broussard area.

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.
