It looks like we are back in the 60's and 70"s again Terry. When my Dad was making syrup back then, he would only start making syrup maybe 1 out every 5 or 6 years in March. Otherwise all his syrup...

Tapped on Saturday 03/10. The weather was cold (8 degrees) in the morning, but it did warm up into the upper 30's. With the colder temperatures, we used snowshoes and went right on top of the 20"...

Been getting a fair amount of sap the last several days, but the sugar content has been low here also. It started at 1.7 but slowly going up to 1.9 - 2.0. It looks like a repeat of last season when...

Finished tapping yesterday, have the normal 1,200 taps all on tubing with vacuum. Most everyone is saying hardly no frost in the ground, but my water line froze on Sunday going from the well to the...

The 2'x4' hybrid pan, it's back half is a flue pan and the front half is a flat pan with partitions. A very nice pan. Check with any GBM dealer for more information.

I ordered and received my copy from Amazon. It is money well spent!

I agree with Terry, the weather has given us all kinds of different weather , sometimes within 2 hour period. The sun will come for a while, melting some snow and then it clouds up and starts...

I tapped on March 8th and 9th. At this point I'm letting the sap dripple onto the ground out of my tubing. I don't want to take a chance of letting the sap freeze up in the releaser, pump or tanks....

Don,

Another thing I would do, is move your sap storage containers to outside of the garage and away from the evaporator where sap will stay cooler.

In Wisconsin you have to be making syrup for commercial sale, selling the sap to a commercial producer or renting your land to a commercial producer. As for the how much you need to sell to qualify,...
