Although it is not my primary income. It was my 1season with an real evaporator, tubing and vacuum. Jumped from 70 taps to 450 this year. I have invested a lot in this yr but my wife is very...
We had a big family vacation planned out March 1 to 12th. But with sap flowing should I go or cancel? I can't imagine that this it for maple season. Oh and I'm located just south of Montreal.

Let's say I was to buy 50aces with 8000 to 10000 taps and no equipment or building. Say 250,000$ how long would it take to pay back? Maybe there are too many holes in my question, but someone may...
