Managing sugar cane patches

[Eggo]

Hey everyone, how do all of you manage your sugar cane patches?  I only recently started growing sugar cane last summer. So this is one's years growth and all is pretty new to me.  I recently stripped the lower leaves.  But I noticed on videos and some people have patches that grow only 3 or 4 large canes.  Is there a prefer method kind of like with bananas where you only leave 2 or 3 pups.  Here's mine, it's a bit of a mess. Thanks!
