2022 Missouri Tapping Season

[oldcabin]

I was able to tap about 50 trees today, in the rain. None were running. I think they will start after the cold snap in a few days, and I could tap either today or next weekend. I am hoping to capitalize on any early season flow. We'll see I guess.

Thinking about poking a couple of trees here later in the week...

Good luck with your season folks. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck Missouri, going to put 50 early taps in today here in southern Ohio. If this weather pattern holds will be all in by January 20-25

Tapped another 40 today. My trees are running, and I have mostly frozen sap in my buckets from last week. I think the temps for next week look great. Looking forward to a good start of the season. I hope to see some more Missouri regulars on here this year.

Looking really good all this week. Tapped a few more today. Hope you boys stock pile some sap!!!!

I'm a small timer here in Defiance, MO with only 75 taps. I put in about 30 taps a couple weeks ago and it's been pretty poor flow so far. Normally by February I've had at least a couple boils but not enough sap yet. I think I have maybe 15 Gallons of sap frozen in buckets outside buried under 10 inches of snow.

We need a few days well above freezing to get this ground thawed and the sap rising!

Good luck to all!

Anybody else in Western MO/Eastern KS using 3/16 gravity and not getting any sap this season? I’ve only made 4 gallons of syrup compared to 31 last year and I’m trying to figure out if it’s because tubing doesn’t work as well this far southwest or if it’s the weather.

I'm not in Missouri, but I have had inconsistent flows too. I seen someone else say that as well. I was ready for a monster run last week and it never happened. I had one good day and and two mediocre ones. The good day was half what I expected. I still have a lot of frost in the ground here in southern ohio and we are just recovering from that huge ice storm. I think when the dam breaks it'll be a mad rush and a short season. I am probably 30% behind where I should be with syrup made.

Season was short for me. I have pulled everything and cleaned up. Weather seamed to not cooperate, but my total numbers are ok I guess. This year I had more trees and more taps, and produced less. Not sure if others are no longer active here or just posting elsewhere. Hope the rest of you have a good season.
