Is anyone tapping in southern Michigan yet ?

Welcome to Michigan. Lol forcast has changed again looks like we get a few more days to prep.

was thinking of tapping Sunday.....may wait a bit longer, but who knows , the forecast has been changing DAILY!! :-|

I may tap Sunday. (2/16/20)

It's hard to guess what is optimum now.

It's not like years back when you planned on the 2nd or 3rd week of March...

Looking at the forecast today, we are planning on next Friday (2/21/20).

Looking at Friday the 21st.

tapping tomorrow
looks like a good 4 day run and then a break so I can get caught up.
good luck to everyone this year!!!

I have 170 taps in so far.

Going out today to sink some more.

Shooting for 250 or so.

Set a few yesterday evening after work, will set a fee more today and tomorrow-trying to have everything ready for this weekend. Concerned with a short season I have more supplies coming to get more sap faster this season-I can always pull a few if it gets to be too much.

Ran out of tubing at 216 taps.

Close enuf.

:D

I was planning to tap this weekend, unfortunately my uncle past away and we will have to attend his funeral and mass this weekend. I will miss a few days and probably start sometime next week. They are calling for rain in the early part of the week and I am sure I won't do it in that. Work some more in the sugar house, then tap after the rains are gone.
