Virgil, I know how it feels to see a beautiful stand of cane on the
ground. I agree with what others are telling you. It will live and make good
syrup. It really is a hassle getting it stripped and cut. It doesn't stack
once it has all those curves which drives "neat freeks" like me crazy!
I'm a strong advocate of not planting it too thick and pulling the
tillers (suckers) because this makes it more resistant to lodging. Sometimes
it doesn't matter what you do tho.
