<div id="SafeStyles1472152858">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>

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>
