Here's a little culture along with your lesson on making sugar cane syrup the old-fashioned way, from the Florida Cracker Kitchen and Trading Company in Brooksville, Florida. There's quite a renewed interest in carrying on some old traditions, and syrup-making in the southern United States is making a comeback. Enjoy.
In the video they mention a "special law" in Florida that allows them to make and sell cane syrup using the old-fashioned methods without having to get all kinds of permits and inspections and all that. The law can be found in chapter 500 of the Florida Statutes and is referred to as the cottage food law.
If this looks like too much work, have a look at a more modern method for making cane syrup in smaller batches like you might grow in a home garden.
