Have we past the point of no return for the cane harvest?

Quite a few acres still not cut around my area. Has it soured after the freeze? Will they cut
It anyway or just plow it under? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much cane still standing on NYE eve.

If I remember right I think Cora Texas is only going to run for another week or so. I do remember last year seeing some cane still standing after the mills shutdown. They just cut the cane and let it regrow for next year.

They were still going at it this week in Avoyelles after the two coldest nights. I will have another report tomorrow.

They were cutting this morning in Lafourche. I think the mill in Raceland is still open as of now but I’d say this weekend at the absolute lasted, will be use it or lose it.
I have a cousin that farms in Assumption that said they have so much sugar this year, it’s unbelievable.
Regardless, they will still claim to be broke.

A couple of years ago, some farmers that could not get their cane out left it in the field standing. They fertilized it in April and then cut it the following harvest. Was surprised that went well. But we also didn't have a hard freeze that year. I think the only mill closed is Lafourche, most are shutting down next week. A friend of mine saying they will finish on the 7th which is the latest they went in years.

Just went through Vermilion Parish, and you can smell the sour cane.
Tough for those guys. Can't imagine how much money lost that is.

No a freeze that may kill the Cain increases sugar content. Mills drive the grinding season now since so many have closed.
