French Camp has a field of sorghum (pronounced "sah-gum"), which grows taller than corn. Sorghum is a tropical African grass that is the source of a type of grain.
Sorghum can be fed as grass to livestock, or processed into molasses. This is part of a sorghum mill that was driven my horses. It squeezed juice from the sorghum grass, and this juice was further refined into syrup.
