[Syrupmakers] Question for sorghum growers

[Scott]

I use Symphony Chicken Fertilizer (dry pellets) and Worm castings. Both are OMRI listed. I put them in my fertilizer hopper on my planter when I plant. Sorghum tastes great.

I cooked sugar cane for a farmer that used chicken manure.  I cook syrup for others on halves.  His tasted so bad I would take it.  I use cottonseed mill on my sugar cane.

Hey all, I am curious if any of you who grow sorghum for syrup ever side-dress their cane with manure (chicken or horse). I have never done this and wondering if it will speed up growth and/or maturation, as some of my crop seems to be lagging behind. We grow organically, and so do not use commercial fertilizers. I'm in central Missouri and am looking at a cooking date of Oct.1. Any insights appreciated!
