When I went to Leader with the plans for the new flue pan that Thad came up with they refused to build it and said it would not work and so Thad and I went to Thor and Arnold Raymond said we will...

Yes the amount is correct 10,000, they can seize car/truck for not declaring the money. I don't know if or what you get back after they do the checking to make sure it is not drug related. I learned...

I have crossed with pan and or canners ect to Thor at least 5 times. They never charged me because it was for farming. They all made it easy to do. I crossed in a small town so ithink they were glad...

I have brought pans across the border and no problem as long you are a farm or agriculture and there were no tariff. You need the bill of sale and declare the money if you have 10,000 dollars or...

The peepers are out tonight so that is it, the season is over. Thanks, It was a great year!!

The worst year was 2015 we only made 700 gallons. The snow was so deep, we never started tapping until the 15-18 of march and that season was over april 7. It was fall before I got all the maple...

We ended up at 2200 gallons, the best we ever did. 5 or so years agowe made a barrel short of 2000 gal. Most years we make 30-40 barrels. The syrup tasted good to the end. I didn't do much today...

Got all the sap together and got it through the ro and boiled and got the evaporator cleaned out and ended up with 55 barrels of syrup. Now the clean up begins. Well good night, and no vac pumps to...

We are still at it but the sap is slowing down. Tonight was the first time we boiled since last thursday and only had 5000 gallons of sap to ro and boil. We only made about 60-70 gallons. We will...

Well I ran out of fuel boiling on sunday, that was a first. I told my wife we should dip the tank and see how much fuel we had left, well now I know. Went to the fuel place and got 260 gallons of off...

The sap ran today and it was cold all day around 34-36 deg.F and was 24 deg. this morning. The truck is unloading right now and is the sec load tonight there is 1000 gallons behind the tractor to be...

The sap truck blew an air hose, the tractor blew a hydro. seal and got 1 of my 4-wheelers fixed and droped off an other to get fixed 2000.00 later back at it. The barrels are getting low we are at 43...

I belive CDL sold them when you bough a new Ro they came with one. The new one is a stainless filter that I bough this year.

the sap has been running and the Ro has been turning. We are up to 27 barrels so far. Good Night To All!!

Well it has been a trip, we have made 21.5 barrels so far this season. I got over a foot of snow too. So here we go, after this freeze it should be running this week. Good Luck to All

I make our syrup a point heavy on the hydrometer and run it throu the filter press that way and into the drum. When we bottle it,we pump it into the canner and heat it up to 190f and around 180f we...

Got every thing fixed yesterday and gathered 4000 gallons of sap. Went out this morning and gathered another 3000 gallons and the Ro is running now hurry up and wait. Hoping to make 2-3 barrels...

I guess that is a matter of opinion. My family has been making maple syrup for genarations and we're proud to make Vt fancy maple syrup. It is quality control, Just like in the barn, quality means...

We made 4 barrels on sat and 3 last night so we are up to 11 barrels so far ,finished up around 8:30. I went and checked the pump houses and one vac. system was down to 15 in. I checked the sensors...

I run mine through twice to 7% then to 20% and go.

A big factor is weather, rain wind etc. The old timers around here said if the wind blows and cracks the limbs a little in the fall the sap will be sweeter the next spring. The soil is one of the...

Yes as long as it is refrigerated. I ro to 7 and let it sit for 24 hrs as long as it is around 40 deg f. and had no problems.

I am so sorry for your loss, that is hard. I will say a prayer for you and your family, I can't even emagine what you are going through, it makes all my problems seam selfish. Hang in there and take...

In Vermont it is only legal to use food grade acid (citric) and or bio-membrain ect, clorox Bleach in well ventalated areas. The quicker you boil it the better.

The more surface area you can get and the shallow the depth of the sap the faster the sap will evaporate. This will take less Btu's required to boil the sap. I would say Yes depending on the size of...
