Can you all give me some ideas about the kind of business arrangements out there related to boiling sap for other people:

-50% of syrup?
-Cost of fuel and labor to boiling.filter.store?
-Other arrangements?

pay them the value of the sap they deliver to your sugarhouse. You could give them a better deal if they want syrup instead of $$$.

here's the sap pricelist from 2010 from the NH Market Bulletin (delivered to the sugarhouse)

1.5% 20 cents/gal
2% 32.5 cents/gal
2.5% 45 cents/gal
3% 57.5 cents/gal
