John Kramer and Craig Maasdam are the grandsons of Leonard Maasdam. They have grown up helping around the mill. They did clean-up work and odd jobs when they were young. Now they are active with the operation of the mill.

 Curtis Maasdam and Austin Kramer would be the seventh generation. Curtis is the son of Craig Maasdam and helps his dad out in the cane fields and Austin is the son of John Kramer, he helps with the clean-up.

The mill has produced sorghum every year since 1926. The mill is still powered by the steam engine that was installed in 1944.

In 2003, Leonard Maasdam passed away, but before he did John Kramer’s fourth son was born. Leonard's thoughts about the four boys "More help for the sorghum mill". We hope this family tradition of producing this old fashion syrup will continue for many more generations.
