We are almost tapped here in mid Michigan only about 100 left to go. Slow going this year as squirrel damage has been awful. With any luck should be boiling Sunday.

Almost 400 gal. Monday,got all the bugs worked out on some new equipment. Worst year I have ever seen for tree rats.
We got 242 taps in today. Another 60 tomorrow. All on buckets.
Looks like the first couple of runs are going to be the 3-4 days warm then 3-4 days cold type affairs. I am tapped down at the state line and had my first boil last night.
Tapped 30 trees Saturday morning 2/22. Sap is running crazy 90 gallons at 2.5%
Our tree's finally let loose Sunday night, averaged almost 3 gal/tap sugar is good at 2.5
