Went up to Weber's in Heidelberg today to get more bottles and labels as a part of my potato seed run.
Sounds like Mennonite country was a great area to be located this spring for making lots of syrup.
Weber's have 1200 taps on buckets and made a little over 600 Imperial gallons. So that's 2 litres per tap.
Vacuum producers averaged 3 litres!
Weber's act as a depot for extra bulk syrup. They said some is for Jakeman's and for other packers. Price they said has come down to between 2.60 - 2.50 per pound.
They were also saying that some people in Quebec are interested in buying since the Federation is around 2.80.
