Gail, I used chicken litter one year and the cane grew beautifully,
but the syrup picked up a slight salty taste which we<br>
attributed to the fertilizer. We didn't use it any more and I have
no proof that was the cause, but we never had the <br>
problem after that.<br>

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!</p>
