I have been thinning for the last two days. I have opened up around 150 sugar maple taps and around 100 reds. The sugars are on good slope and good for tubing Most of the red slope away from the trails and are here and there may be mostly buckets. If you had a choice of red on your land or sugars 5 mile away on someones elces land what would you do?

Do both. Reds give good syrup and 5 miles is close by.

My prefrence would be the sugars. However if it is a difrence of your land or someone elses. I may take what I have over getting into the rental and leaseing of trees from someone else.
