Yes, that’s the way it works. Southern areas have their season first, then it progresses northward.Quote:

Okay, well I bit on the line you threw out. Nifty. That being said, unless I'm not using it right, it looks like hardly anyone in VT taps maple trees. <eyeroll> Does the fact that the app is not used much not mess up the data?Quote:

It also has a sap flow predictor which can be helpful. The sap flow maps gives you an idea of when to start to get ready to start tapping. And there is a reporting section.Quote:

Maybe I wasn't clear with my post. I signed up for the app, and was surprised by one thing: There are a total of 7 sugarbushes in the entire state of VT in the app. Compare that to CT which has 24 sugarbushes (more than three times as many) - again, according to the app. However in the real world, VT has 70 times the number of taps that CT does. So that very sparse reporting in VT and heavier stats in some other areas (like CT) seems like it would make the app less relevant. But I've not used it before, so who knows.Quote:

Can you even get the SapTapApp anymore?
Maybe the app is correct and people in Vermont don't tap trees. It could all be a conspiracy haha.
Yes, go to www.saptapapps.comQuote:
