I agree with you. The southern areas did good but that is not where the big volume is made. If you just followed The Maple News stories about the southern producers you would think it was a record...

Last few times I did not have to get a DUNNS number but on the last renewal I had to. They give you the link. They give you time to get it but at some point your registration will be canceled if you...
When you register with the FDA they require you to get a DUNNS number. That is from Dun and Bradstreet, a private company. When you do they will fill your email with requests to update financial info...
I am sure there is syrup out there but with syrup sales booming and low bulk prices people are probably bottling up as much as they can. 21 years ago bulk prices were where they are now. Figuring for...
A Wisconsin buyer told me most people live hand to mouth and they have to accept what I am offering. He said he was going to gain market share because he can buy syrup cheaper over here. They wait...
I downloaded the US and Canada catalogs for the three biggest companies to see if there are any adjustments for exchange rate. Two had a good markdown and the third had very small changes changes up...
Is this your state of the art operation?

I tried to find a video also. Called CDL Vermont asking for one with no luck. I looked at the instructions for it and it had a long cycle time. I asked about that and he snapped back that you can't...
My guess is that the prices will be going much lower. The prices must have been too high to fuel all of the expansion. People with big loans will go out of business and it will get back to normal.
Wish I could find the approved list of cleaners for maple. The only thing I came up with was the last Maple News video of the guy cleaning with Zappit swimming pool cleaner.
If getting caught using IPA would get your crop taken or destroyed why can syrup come into the US from Canada?
Is hydrogen peroxide approved for cleaning?
It can make a big difference in certain situations if it is AG or not, farming has quite a few advantages. There was a push by some group in the NE to get maple in to the farming category on a...
Trying to decide on how to file taxes. Called the IRS and they say maple production is not farming and is manufacturing. I mentioned the North American Industry Classification System lists maple as...
I have been to the UP looking for a sugarbush and it is incredible but logging is the main income. From what I had read the UP has more maple trees than Vermont. Big syrup production would probably...

Map of US maple distribution. The UP of Michigan has lots of untapped trees.
Why not 50% and then have a special team that grades the syrup.

List of items Canada will tax and maple syrup and sugar is on the list.

Listed in table 2 and that means a 10% tax.
How does it work out when someone buys crop insurance and they claim they are at 30% of a crop when for their bush they did not really do too bad?
What is a full crop? What I find as funny is when someone new at this claims he is way down from a full crop. I call it unrealistic expectations when you are double tapping small tees and hitting...
From the Maple News April page 31 "Roth went as far as to say the U.S. market was completely dry, even in the Northeast. In the U.S. there is no surplus."
Roth is a big buyer. It would be like saying Bascom is going to fill his warehouse with the syrup he makes.
They are very well connected and been in the business a very long time. If they wanted syrup bad enough they would get it from the NE, local syrup is cheap.
What a picture, I will leave it at that.
