We will be providing a live broadcast of select presentations of the VT Maple Conference held on Jan 23, 2016 in Hyde Park. We'll have a morning and afternoon session (see schedule below). You'll use the same URL for any/all presentations.
Please review the system requirements in advance to ensure your device is compatible with GoToWebinar. The broadcasts are scheduled 15 minutes earlier than the live presentations to make sure folks are successfully logged in.
Program Schedule
9:30-10:30: Forest Pest News. Barbara Schultz, VT Dept. Forests, Parks & Rec. We will hear updates on important forest pests including the forest tent caterpillar, Asian longhorned beetle, and others. We'll also learn about Vermont’s new firewood quarantine.
10:45-11:45: Is Tapping Below the Lateral a Good Idea? Mark Isselhardt, UVM Extension. Sometimes maple producers have to tap below the lateral line to find good (non-compartmentalized) wood, or because of tubing position. Spring 2015 studies at UVM PMRC looked at how tapping below the lateral line affected sap yields. The results might surprise you!
1:15-2:15: How Microbes Affect Maple from the Tree to the Finished Product. Dr. Tim Perkins, UVM Proctor Maple Research Center. Various types of microorganisms grow in maple sap and syrup, affecting everything from the yield of sap from the taphole, to the taste of syrup, and how well maple candy crystallizes. We'll cover the myriad of ways that microbes affect maple and how we deal with this issue at many different stages of the process.
2:30-3:30: Spout Replacement, Tubing Cleaning, or Both--Which is Best? Dr. Abby van den Berg, UVM Proctor Maple Research Center. A number of studies have examined the effects of sanitation at the taphole and tubing level as a strategy to increase sap yields. A 2-year joint study compared spout replacement, drop replacement, CV use, and cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and bleach, as well as combined spout replacement and cleaning on sap yield and net profit.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
