Sorghum syrup is a natural sweetener made by processing juice squeezed from the stalks of certain
types of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) called sweet sorghum or sorgo. Sweet sorghum is grown for
syrup or forage, whereas most other sorghums, commonly referred to as milos or kafirs, are grown
for grain. Sweet sorghums resemble grain sorghum at maturity except that they are about three
times taller, reaching a height of 12 feet or more.

Specialized milling equipment is necessary to extract the juice, and evaporative pans with heating
units are used to steam off excess water, leaving syrup. It takes about 8 gallons of juice to make 1
gallon of syrup.

The correct label for sorghum syrup is “sorghum syrup” or “pure sorghum.” Molasses, unsulphured
molasses, cane molasses, and cane syrup are byproducts of sugarcane processing and sugar crystal-
lization. “Sorghum molasses” is a blend of sorghum syrup and sugarcane molasses.

Sweet sorghum is ideally suited to the small diversified farm. The seed heads (which are cut off
prior to processing) can be fed to chickens. The grain, leaves, and stalks of sweet sorghum can be
fed to ruminant livestock. Bagasse, the organic waste from sorghum syrup processing, can also be
fed to livestock, or composted and returned to the fields.

Traditionally, the use of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides is minimal or eliminated altogether
in the production of sorghum syrup. Farmers raising sweet sorghum will need to use good cultural
practices—such as crop rotations, cover crops, and timely cultivation—to avoid weed problems.
Some growers may want to tap into the burgeoning organically grown niche market.

Yields of 200 to 300 gallons of syrup per acre are possible, though 120–130 gallons is an average
yield. Wholesale prices for sorghum syrup run about $12–$15 per gallon. In a crop budget analysis
done by the Kerr Center in Oklahoma, a sorghum enterprise realized profitable returns to land and
management at a yield of 112 gallons per acre selling for $18 per gallon (1). Many small-scale
growers aim for $30 per gallon. Niche marketing, smaller jars, and fancy labeling are methods used
to achieve this goal.

In the past, sorghum mills were a common feature of southern agriculture. Farmers could process
their crop at local mills, often on a share arrangement with the mill owner. One of the biggest
challenges facing new producers today is the lack of milling equipment. Most growers rely on used
equipment manufactured decades ago for the sorghum syrup and sugarcane industries.



ATTRA is the national sustainable agriculture information service, operated by the National Center
for Appropriate Technology through a grant from the Rural Business-Cooperative Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture. These organizations do not recommend or endorse products, companies,
or individuals. NCAT has offices in Fayetteville, Arkansas (P.O. Box 3657, Fayetteville, AR 72702),
Butte, Montana, and Davis, California.
As an alternative to a sorghum mill on every farm, Alcorn State University in southern Mississippi
sponsors a mobile sorghum “juice” pressing trailer that is loaned out during sorghum season. Wil-
liam Patton (2), agronomy specialist, can provide further information and details, in case a coop-
erative venture like this could be feasible in your region.

Stainless steel, galvanized steel, or copper pan evaporators are the other major equipment item
associated with sorghum syrup production. Pan evaporators are usually custom-manufactured
and are available through suppliers to the sorghum syrup, sugarcane, and maple sugar industries.
A refractometer, thermometer, fuel burner, enzymes, containers, and labels are other supplies needed
to process and market sorghum syrup.

For processing commercial sweet sorghum, clean facilities are important because the product is
sold as a food item to the public. Some states require a food processor permit, and others may want
to inspect processing and packing areas.

Variety selection is an important consideration and is somewhat region-specific, according to cli-
mate and soil type. Qualities to evaluate when selecting a variety include: days to maturity, growth
habits matched to harvest equipment, stalk size, and cold tolerance.

The Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (MAFES) Foundation Seed Stocks
supplies certified seed for sweet sorghum varieties—Dale, Theis, M81-E, Topper 76-6—adapted to
the Mid-South region. Contact:

Sweet sorghum is widely adapted to the U.S., with commercial production in at least 26 states.
Land-grant universities in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia have conducted research
and published materials on producing and processing sweet sorghum. Selected educational mate-
rials from Kentucky, Tennessee, and New York are enclosed for your information.

The National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association (NSSPPA) holds a meeting on
the first weekend of March each year. The meeting location rotates between Bowling Green, Ken-
tucky, and Nashville, Tennessee. The association publishes a newsletter to exchange information
among producers, as well as a directory. According to NSSPPA, there are 500–700 sorghum syrup
producers in the U.S. raising a total of 25,000 to 30,000 acres.

USDA published a series of Farmers’ Bulletins and Agriculture Handbooks on sorghum syrup,
proceeding from the turn of the century through the 1970s (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Though dated, they still
provide an excellent summary of sorghum syrup production—including varieties, cultivation, har-
vesting, and processing; in addition, the photos and illustrations provide historical glimpses into
farm equipment and syrup-making procedures. USDA publications are located in land-grant uni-
versity libraries, and photocopies can often be obtained through Inter-Library Loan. Of special
interest are the six USDA and Agriculture Experiment Station bulletins available as full-text online
documents listed under Web Resources.

Sweet Sorghum Production and Processing by George Kuepper was published by the Kerr Center for
Sustainable Agriculture (9) in 1992. This 93-page manual, available for $12, is a practical hand-
book on everything a farmer needs to know about sorghum growing and processing. It is based on
the Kerr Center’s experience with sorghum production, and includes black-and-white photographs
of equipment and processing methods. The Overstreet-Kerr Historical Farm, a project of the Kerr
Center, sponsors a farm festival each October where sorghum-syrup-making is demonstrated.

The Cooperative Extension Service, which is the land-grant university outreach program for farm-
ers in each state, is the primary source of crop production information on sweet sorghum. The Web
Resources section below contains links to educational materials from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ala-
bama, Kentucky, Texas, and Georgia.

One of the best ways to learn how to make sorghum syrup is by first-hand exposure. The National
Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association can provide referrals to sweet sorghum farmers
in your region, syrup-making festivals, and related events.

Sorghum Syrup

  • 1. SORGHUM SYRUP CURRENT TOPIC Steve Diver Updated by Julia Sampson NCAT Agriculture Specialists March 2003 Sorghum syrup is a natural sweetener made by processing juice squeezed from the stalks of certain types of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) called sweet sorghum or sorgo. Sweet sorghum is grown for syrup or forage, whereas most other sorghums, commonly referred to as milos or kafirs, are grown for grain. Sweet sorghums resemble grain sorghum at maturity except that they are about three times taller, reaching a height of 12 feet or more. Specialized milling equipment is necessary to extract the juice, and evaporative pans with heating units are used to steam off excess water, leaving syrup. It takes about 8 gallons of juice to make 1 gallon of syrup. The correct label for sorghum syrup is “sorghum syrup” or “pure sorghum.” Molasses, unsulphured molasses, cane molasses, and cane syrup are byproducts of sugarcane processing and sugar crystal- lization. “Sorghum molasses” is a blend of sorghum syrup and sugarcane molasses. Sweet sorghum is ideally suited to the small diversified farm. The seed heads (which are cut off prior to processing) can be fed to chickens. The grain, leaves, and stalks of sweet sorghum can be fed to ruminant livestock. Bagasse, the organic waste from sorghum syrup processing, can also be fed to livestock, or composted and returned to the fields. Traditionally, the use of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides is minimal or eliminated altogether in the production of sorghum syrup. Farmers raising sweet sorghum will need to use good cultural practices—such as crop rotations, cover crops, and timely cultivation—to avoid weed problems. Some growers may want to tap into the burgeoning organically grown niche market. Yields of 200 to 300 gallons of syrup per acre are possible, though 120–130 gallons is an average yield. Wholesale prices for sorghum syrup run about $12–$15 per gallon. In a crop budget analysis done by the Kerr Center in Oklahoma, a sorghum enterprise realized profitable returns to land and management at a yield of 112 gallons per acre selling for $18 per gallon (1). Many small-scale growers aim for $30 per gallon. Niche marketing, smaller jars, and fancy labeling are methods used to achieve this goal. In the past, sorghum mills were a common feature of southern agriculture. Farmers could process their crop at local mills, often on a share arrangement with the mill owner. One of the biggest challenges facing new producers today is the lack of milling equipment. Most growers rely on used equipment manufactured decades ago for the sorghum syrup and sugarcane industries. ATTRA is the national sustainable agriculture information service, operated by the National Center for Appropriate Technology through a grant from the Rural Business-Cooperative Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. These organizations do not recommend or endorse products, companies, or individuals. NCAT has offices in Fayetteville, Arkansas (P.O. Box 3657, Fayetteville, AR 72702), Butte, Montana, and Davis, California.
  • 2. As an alternative to a sorghum mill on every farm, Alcorn State University in southern Mississippi sponsors a mobile sorghum “juice” pressing trailer that is loaned out during sorghum season. Wil- liam Patton (2), agronomy specialist, can provide further information and details, in case a coop- erative venture like this could be feasible in your region. Stainless steel, galvanized steel, or copper pan evaporators are the other major equipment item associated with sorghum syrup production. Pan evaporators are usually custom-manufactured and are available through suppliers to the sorghum syrup, sugarcane, and maple sugar industries. A refractometer, thermometer, fuel burner, enzymes, containers, and labels are other supplies needed to process and market sorghum syrup. For processing commercial sweet sorghum, clean facilities are important because the product is sold as a food item to the public. Some states require a food processor permit, and others may want to inspect processing and packing areas. Variety selection is an important consideration and is somewhat region-specific, according to cli- mate and soil type. Qualities to evaluate when selecting a variety include: days to maturity, growth habits matched to harvest equipment, stalk size, and cold tolerance. The Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (MAFES) Foundation Seed Stocks supplies certified seed for sweet sorghum varieties—Dale, Theis, M81-E, Topper 76-6—adapted to the Mid-South region.

Land-grant universities in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia have conducted research and published materials on producing and processing sweet sorghum. Selected educational mate- rials from Kentucky, Tennessee, and New York are enclosed for your information. The National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association (NSSPPA) holds a meeting on the first weekend of March each year. The meeting location rotates between Bowling Green, Ken- tucky, and Nashville, Tennessee. The association publishes a newsletter to exchange information among producers, as well as a directory. According to NSSPPA, there are 500–700 sorghum syrup producers in the U.S. raising a total of 25,000 to 30,000 acres. PAGE 2 //SORGHUM SYRUP

Though dated, they still provide an excellent summary of sorghum syrup production—including varieties, cultivation, har- vesting, and processing; in addition, the photos and illustrations provide historical glimpses into farm equipment and syrup-making procedures. USDA publications are located in land-grant uni- versity libraries, and photocopies can often be obtained through Inter-Library Loan. Of special interest are the six USDA and Agriculture Experiment Station bulletins available as full-text online documents listed under Web Resources. Sweet Sorghum Production and Processing by George Kuepper was published by the Kerr Center for Sustainable Agriculture (9) in 1992. This 93-page manual, available for $12, is a practical hand- book on everything a farmer needs to know about sorghum growing and processing. It is based on the Kerr Center’s experience with sorghum production, and includes black-and-white photographs of equipment and processing methods. The Overstreet-Kerr Historical Farm, a project of the Kerr Center, sponsors a farm festival each October where sorghum-syrup-making is demonstrated. The Cooperative Extension Service, which is the land-grant university outreach program for farm- ers in each state, is the primary source of crop production information on sweet sorghum. The Web Resources section below contains links to educational materials from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ala- bama, Kentucky, Texas, and Georgia. One of the best ways to learn how to make sorghum syrup is by first-hand exposure. The National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association can provide referrals to sweet sorghum farmers in your region, syrup-making festivals, and related events.
