Re: Contents of Syrupmakers digest

Hi Glenn,

I am not sure about bringing sugar cane stalks across state lines. Would
have to do research from Dept. of Ag for both states on that one.

As for the price, I am not sure of that as I have not sold any stalks
before and it surely won't be too much.
It would probably depend on whether or not the cane is stripped and cut
prior to someone coming for it or if they do it themselves. We all know
that takes some time to do.

Thanks for asking and check back with me in November if you are interested.
Email me privately if you want some pics sent showing them now.

Thanks,
Claude
