Molasses Industry Advances in York County Prospects Grow
The growth of sorghum molasses in York County began ten to twelve years ago with W. S. Wilkerson and G. Scott Cobb of Hickory Grove, expanding to nearby markets but facing market and skill challenges. Their operations remain strong, with last summer’s output around 2000 gallons, sold wholesale from barrels and tins up to 50 gallons. They credit careful study and improved equipment, arguing sorghum molasses can become a major local industry due to high sugar content and quality gains.
