Eldora Sorghum Factory Betokens Local Enterprise
The Union Star reports on BE. W. Lundy’s Eldora sorghum syrup venture. The plant produced about 400 gallons on day two, using automatic steaming and no hands on the product. The syrup is light, clear, and mellow, with no scorched taste, and the process aims to maximize byproducts with two silos housing over 15,000 cubic feet. They plan to double output next year and claim the venture will be a bonanza benefiting the community and providing feed from 40 acres of cane.
