Restored Sorghum Press Returns To Kansas Farm Work
ALMA Kan AP an old fashioned horse drawn sorghum press, likely one of the last, was restored on a farm west of Alma. Lowell Thierer, who runs a small museum, reassembled the 1909 press and operated it for a crowd of about 4 500 visitors, producing 14 gallons of molasses from 10 gallons of juice in a weekend. The press broke again and will be rebuilt this winter.
