Years ago, there were certain chores on the farm that happened in the fall such as hog killing and syrup making.  Well we don’t know who all’s killing hogs but over at the Wyndell and Nancy Bailey Farm near Willisville, there was some syrup making going on this past weekend.   The Baileys used sorghum cane and put up quite a few jars of finished product.  T.J. Fackler and Harleigh Williams are shown stirring the cooking syrup.  We bet the smell of the cooking syrup was wonderful!
