rather than a unit-area, it’s unit-length. the equivalent of one row of cane planted, measuring 150 feet. bed width is not standardized, so depending on a crop’s spacing and a bed’s width, one might fit 2-3 or more rows in a bed.
we planted/propagated by laying the cane horizontally and burying it, because it will shoot up new cane from the internodes which, for whatever we were planting was something like 4-6 inches apart. so like probably something like 400-450?+ stalks coming from the ~75? planted horizontally.

But how many cane fit in a foot length?

Very cool! I still have no idea how are row foot is a useful way to measure sugar cane, but I’m learning lots
