In the olden days the grain mill was most often the “Heart” of a community. Here at Metcalf Mills our goal is not only the preservation and education of the grain milling process, but also to help provide a service and products that help make good, healthy, fresh milled goods more available to individuals and communities. And hopefully bring back some of that “Heart” and maybe a little more Love.

Praying yunz are all right. Its been a long time and we are worried about you and your family. God is with you and pray to see yunz all soon. God's blessing to you and yours
Glad you and the girls are on the mend. Thank you for the cane mill instructions, I like the music it makes as the gears turn. Take care of yourself and I look forward to your next video!
Thank you Vanessa. Yes I like the sound as well. Will do it!
I had to pause the video to tell you how happy the expression “flat as a flitter” made me. My grandmother was the only person I have ever heard use that phrase and she passed away in 1984. I’m enjoying your cane videos and learning much about the process. I have wondered for years if I could grow some and make the syrup on a very small home scale. Where I live now it isn’t always easy to find the good stuff and sometimes on a cold day you just gotta have some cornbread and molasses. Seeing your demo with the board shows me that I can figure out a way do it one of these days.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It made my day. That is the year I was born❤️
Fun Fact Fridays are simply awesome!!! It's because in this day and time, facts are hard to come by ... Really interesting Justro. Thanks for taking us along.

I’m so sorry y’all have been sick, I’ll pray for Gods healing hand upon each of you 🙏🏻
I’m certainly glad your safe from any threats out there, Bear looks like he will be all rested up if he needs to defend you 🤣🤣
But you sure make me nervous trying to film that running equipment, moving around and pointing out the workings ……..be careful !!!!
I’m grateful you have permapasture farms so close and y’all can help each other !
As always, great video and wonderful to see that beautiful smile !
Blessings
Thank you so much!
Yes Bear is ready for anything 😆
I try not to take it for granted, I know what it can do, thank you for the reminder and I sure will.
I am thankful as well. Glad you enjoyed and bless you
I’m glad you and your girls are feeling better. I enjoyed the video-take care-God bless! 😊
Thank you so much! God bless you Carolyn
Howdy Justro- I sure like your setup there. I wish I could be there to help you get this done. All I would want is some cornbread to put some lasses on lol. Hope y’all have a great weekend. God bless
Thanks brother! I wish you could be here too, that would be fun!
Thank you and I hope that you all do as well.
God bless you my friend
So sorry y'all have been sick. Glad y'all are on the mends. Looking forward to the making sorghum syrup video. Y'all take care and God bless.
Thanks for sharing Justro 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Thank you Nancy!
I enjoyed watching this. I have never seen that before🌻
Thank you, hope you are doing well..
@Metcalf Mills doing great. Looking forward to your next video 🌻
Thank you! 🙂
Love your guard dog!!!! Made me smile.
🙂❤️
Hey we sure miss you! Hope all is well! 🙏
Flat as a Flitter! Haven't heard that one in a few years.....Justro, I never realized just how similar pressing sorghum was to squeezing sugar cane. We have a vertical cane press and use an antique tractor to drive the press. We love spending a full day every February making cane syrup. Blessings to you! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I love watching the Amish in scottsville ky making sorghum with a press like yours and four teams of horses running it everything is gravity flow all the way to a jars
Thank you for sharing this with us
That's awesome! Looks fun! Thanks for sharing!
It is fun! Glad you enjoyed!
Man you are high-tech, all I’ve ever seen make sorghum is the use of mules. But then again I don’t get out much…. lol. That is a slick machine!!
Ha ha! Thanks Daniel. I started with nothing…😆
Glad you're doing better.Tell the girls hi...
Enjoyed the video.
I am glad you enjoyed it! I will do that now 🙂
I love your videos of all the history you share I will keep you and your daughters In my prayers to get better . My oldest daughter makes homemade maple syrup which is alot different from the syrup you do it's so exciting watching all the hard work you do when showing us how you do sugar cane but great results thank you for sharing, take care stay safe and God bless
Thank you so much. God bless you as well ❤️
Thanks for another great video! Always enjoy them.
Thanks Jack!
Thanks brother! The brûlée was yummy! We would love to help with the sorghum next time.
Glad you are all feeling better. Let us know if you need anything. 😊
We did maple syrup back on the farm and cold nights ice would form in the sap buckets -- the ice was pure water increasing sugar content of what remained. You might experiment with taking your sorghum juice and partially freezing it to remove the ice block before spending all day boiling. Let that ice block melt out and recheck your brix from the ice water and the remaining juice to see if it helps.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I font have anyway to freeze it but I bet that would work.
Have a blessed day. Thanks for sharing. Hollar can you hear me 🤣❤️🙏
I can hear you! Hope that uns do as well! ❤️
Wow I’ve never seen anything like that! Your one smart cookie! I think definitely keep your finger and hair back 🫶🏼
Yes for sure, thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving, we miss you.
Thank you! See you soon! ❤️
Listenen to this has brought up alot of memorys i thought was gone
Glad you enjoyed!
Know y’all have been sick, hope you all are feeling better. Missing your posts.
Hoping you all are okay. We've missed your videos.
Great video! Take care of that cold!
Thank you!
Howdy Justro, glad you and the girls are on the mend. Been some puny folks down this way too. I hope you got to eat on one of those big fat chickens Billy fixed up the other day. Don't worry bout not getting out videos while you're busy or under the weather. Anybody gives you any lip just send em down here, I'll fix it. Love you guys!
Hope you all are well soon. The chickens are in the bags!!!
Ha ha, thanks Rick! Love y’all too brother!
I was missing you and the girls so praying a lot because I was afraid you were all sick you sound better.
Thanks Billy! We appreciate you! We have been sick but hopefully almost done with it.
Was sure hopping you was in Tennessee would love to get a jar
Thank you!
Oh yum! Fresh sorghum syrup, ain’t nothing better! Justin, you’re videos and knowledge are wonderful, always enjoy the old time way. I wanna try to make hominy corn, do you have a video on how to?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the kids
Thank you so much!
I can imagine you needeing lots of lubricant for those gears. You actually just talked about a reservoir that helps them gesrs run smooth. I could watch you squeeze cane all day.
It is a fun process to watch for sure. The big gears don’t really need lubricating, the old cast was formulated to last long. Thank you! 🙂
I have been missing you…lease let us hear from you…love your girls and love you Justin ❤️
I thought about trying to get up with you when you started doing this but as usual I'm always late. I would love to help ya do that and talk about how things use to be. I would like to buy some and I would pick it up. Yuns have a goodun
Hollar at me Lloyd. Thanks brother, y’all too!
Thanks for the video. I love simple machines that do a great job.
I hate think what that press would look like if OSHA got a holt to it.
Me too Ron! 😆
It was my turn to wonder where you were. Suggestion? Maybe everybody starts taking garlic..laying canes loosing water means less cooking😄
That could be helpful, thanks LR!
Happy Thanksgiving to ya and yr girls. Enjoy.
Yes feel better. Hugs
Thank you!
I pray everyone is ok. I can’t find any Facebook or messenger things. Praying all is well.
Got one fur ya its as funny as a hen with theeth here goes .your as cute as a Roster wearing socks lol
That is fascinating Justin. I bet some ole farmers lost some digits back in the day working on one of those with the exposed gears like that. Is the juice good enough to drink fresh like that? It appears like it would be good. The verticle cane mills is the only one I have ever seen. I am like you, I like this horizontal one as you have.
Yes the juice is good to just drink.
I have heard some stories about cane mills and gears. The only thing is that the juice might tun down a vertical mill rollers better, but I font know that it makes any difference. Thank you!
@@metcalfmills5679 I wouldn’t mind having some of that juice. I’m gonna try to find a mill around here and maybe plant some. Thanks buddy.
nice video! I wonder if some food grade grease would help them gears run smoother and last longer?
Yes but it don’t stay on long. Thank you!
I remember my granddaddy giving me a piece of sugar cane to chew on. I am pretty sure he was disappointed that I did not love it like he did. I was too used to the refined white sugar to appreciate the flavor from the cane juice.
Thank you for sharing this with us
Are you all well? We miss seeing you on TH-cam 😢
Do you know of any cane mills available up there every one I've found over here hasn't been touched for decades and not gonna be touched for decades. Tore down my meadows today. Not as bad as I thought the main shaft is gonna need some work . All new babits will have to be poured, it's been ran dry and what grease was in them was hard as plastic.
I dont know of any. I hope all is good with you!
Awesome info nice setup BRO!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Sending you and family prayers and blessings.
You alright Justro? You ain't put nothing out in a couple wks!
Here in Phoenix I grew sugar cane this summer. It was in a raised bed that gets watered.. it started off with a few green twigs I got from Amazon and grew to way over 10 ft clump about 2 ft found. At least 30 tall canes. I finally cut it a couple weeks ago ( in my climate it never really stops growing but it was getting so big and older canes were turning brown) I tried to taste it but didn't really find it very sweet, so should I do something different to get sweet? (I did hear to leave canes lay to get sweeter but not very practical in my yard) I grew for fun and now I'm leaving a few pieces to root in water to replant in a different spot for next year, but without a machine to squeeze it I'm not sure how I can process it. This year it all went into the trash.. so sad.. but the crushers I've seen on Amazon are just too expensive and overkill for my small simple use, anyone have alternatives?
I font know anything about sugar cane, but someone on here does.
I have seen people make a squeezer but I don’t know what the cost would be..
Thank you!
Enjoyed this!
Thank you!
The leftover canes would be good for pigs and compost, wouldn’t it?
Yes
This fascinates me!
Glad you enjoy
Sweet!
Thank you
And you can wring out your laundry! 🤣😂🤣
Yes you can! 😆
Justro, everyone makes mistakes, I’m praying that you will do what’s right, be a man and confess, the Lord is on your side.
Amen!
Confess? Please explain..
@@metcalfmills5679 I meant tell the facts, you did a pretty good job tonight explaining what has happened. Silence was leading many to conclude that your intentions weren’t good. I’ve continued to pray for y’all this last few months.
Thank you Lynn. I appreciate all of you.
We use to cut sections of the cane and peel it and chew on the sweet pulp, 😋
Ok I'm nosy..you r only doing 2 videos a month? Are you all ok? Still sick? Blessings!
How often do you add oil in the bearing holes? How much and what weight?
I do it when I use it maybe twice a run. Just heavy engine oil, 40 weight or gear oil will work too..
I think 🤔 my TH-cam has got a hole in it, comments are leaking out.I like the mill Justro, Thanks and God Bless 🙂.
Ha ha! Thank you!
Let’s get to pumping out the mills damn it!!!!!
More to it than that. Take the time to understand
Good morning. I am a small farm. My cane field/patch is small. I'm looking for a press. I ordered a cheap one, broke 1 use. Sent that China made one back. Bad mistake. Can you recommend an inexpensive alternative? Hope you and the girls get better soon.
Hey, hope you are well.. I dont know of any small ones. There are some alternative methods that are here on TH-cam. Thank you so much❤️
been looking for a mill all year and havent had any luck
Sometimes one will come along
Anyone know what happened to Justro?
You try that corn meal from Mitchell?
There was not any left to try! The last bag we eat was real good. How was it?
@@metcalfmills5679 glad you liked it
Hoped the girls liked the patch and stickers
I want a cane mill but they are impossible to find!
Not impossible, just hard sometimes
Is that a 3910 or a 4610 ford?
4610 LP

Speaking of MILL STONES what happen to the money we all donated in the kickstarter for the stone mill
You need to do your research on this
@@metcalfmills5679 Justro I just reread my question and it really sounds ugly. I am sorry I did not mean it that way. What I was trying to ask was what did you do with the money as in what equipment and or tools did you buy to work with? I did not mean to sound rude. I find what you do absolutely fascinating and was just wondering how you do what you do and what tools it takes to do it. I love watching your videos because you explain how all of this stuff works and you demonstrate it as well. Again I am sorry for the way I worded my question.
I understand Diannah. I appreciate you responding. I hate that so many people got misinformed, it will all come out in the wash. My video answers all your questions. I appreciate your support.
Love your vids and family . Come on Justro you can get back and keep going . A lot of people believe in you . God bless , Don …
I have never stopped, just slowed. Thank you Don, I appreciate you
Make things right!$
You were misinformed
Response video from Perma Pasture Farms???
Lies require no response.
I’d love to come help you run a run just to say I have done it.
Thank you Danny
Bear 😅
😆
👍👈
Thanks Nick!
Hope y'all are ok.
Try not to have the sun at your back when filming.
Where's the GRAIN MILL you had a Kickstarter for? Over a year. I want my money back! I have unsubscribed, many others are doing the same!
You were misinformed. You need to search things out for yourself. How much did you donate?
Miss ya hope all is well
Thank you!
Boycott incoming.
Still waiting…
Why have you not responded about all the $$ you received for your KickStarter!!! YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS!!! So disappointed and ripped off.
You were given bad information. You need to check things out for yourself
You were given bad information. You need to check things out for yourself
Shame on you for stealing peoples money and not holding up to your end of the bargain. You have earned the distrust of many people and fellow homesteaders. Be a responsible adult and follow thru with your obligations.
You shouldn’t believe everything you hear. Sometimes people lie.
