Thats awesome. How much do you save per acre farming maple syrup?
And as a sidebar how long until the liberals ban raping tree blood? Pancakes may be banned someday?

Guys in our neighborhood are getting very little sap. Does deep frost hamper spring sap flow?

King corn vs the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. Wait till the euphorians find out the big guys use dairy equipment to forcefully suck the sap out.

The sap is starting to flow in SE MN, but I think the snow and frost must be keeping things fairly slow. I'm afraid that this year's sap season might quickly go from too cold to too warm.

Well I went out and installed 50 taps. I don't know if I'll do any more this year or not. I just want to make sure the 40 stays taxed as AG. The trail has a 1' of snow and off the trail up to 1.5'. Easy for me to say but, I’d bang out another 50 taps if you can. I think your snow will melt soon enough. Hang in there.

I've got to much other shit going on this spring. Also considering this is going to be a shitty year 50 is good. I had 155 out last year.

Collected today 79 gallons tested 3%. Price of syrup is going to go high this year. The guy I sell the sap to normally has 6 or 7 guys selling to him. Besides himself I'm the only other to take him any so far this year.
