Does anyone else have real low sugar sap? My first boil about 250 gal and did not make 1oz of syrup, just sweeten the pan,and it looks like it will be dark?

I,ve been getting 2-2 1/2 all season. a friend who just sells sap , delivered 2 totes (500 gal total) to a large producer north of Lowville N.Y. @ 4 % and is heading back up to load again cause a neighbor called to tell him his tanks are full.:D

two of my bushes have been running at 2 to 2.2% my third one is right around 1.6 to 1.8% so i keep them stored in seperate holding tanks.
