    Again I have a pick but can't get it loaded. Any advice?

    Since 1/27 the sugar maple in my yard had only produced 1/2 to 3/4 gallon of sap. That's 13 days.

    I am glad I did not go tap.

    Well I have pic to post but it won’t load. The bag I put up eight day ago has produced a quart.

    Five more days of Spring days in the forecast. Then a return to winter.

    2024 Center Wisconsin Tapping

    Well, clearly it’s way to early but when you look at the temps the next 10 days they look like mid-March.

    I will put in one tap just out of curiosity and report back.
