Took previous two years off. I ended up tapping last Sunday Feb 9. So over a week collecting. Some 5 gallon buckets are overflowing, other reds are 1/3 full. Planning to test out the new badgerland 2x4 flat pan. Going from 2x3 14 gauge to 2x4 22 gauge. Excited to see the difference.
Same boat here.... Was expecting a good run but very little by the end of the day.
Today and tomorrow should be better. Next weekend is looking promising as well...

I was also expecting more of a run than what actually happened the last few days. I boiled what we had yesterday, just to boil it and help it keep, but didn’t finish any. The sterilized “half sap” will sit in the pan and wait for next weekend.
Also a very slow day yesterday. Came home expecting full buckets. Things didn't break free until late afternoon. Hoping for good flow through Wednesday.
I picked up maybe 40 gallons yesterday... Was hoping for double that, and the flows didn't start unitl later afternoon.
Today should pick up.
Picked up 120 gallons of sap since Sunday. Not spectacular but it's enough to crank up the evaporator and start reducing it.
The tubing is still running very strong so I'm guessing I will have a good amount to deal with tomorrow as well. Looks like I'm gonna get a good season out of this mild year yet.
