 Cane Crisis?
Author: mschmidt 
Date:   2015-12-20 09:01

Is there a serious shortage of good cane in this world, or am I just not finding the right stuff? I have been trying cane from vendor after vendor, and I have taken up doing my own shaping so that at least I can have consistent shapes as I try different vendors. But I am having such a hard time making decent reeds like I used to be able to make with the cane I can no longer get. I am seriously considering becoming a cane farmer in my retirement. Anybody have suggestions about growing, harvesting, and curing good cane? With climate change, I expect that cane growing might have to move to new latitudes.
