Just signed an agreement with local gun club to use their 150 acres which adjoins with my property. That gives me over 300 acres of mountain side to run sap line on . Potential of 3000 + taps over time . Now the fun begins
more woods to play in

We started with 50 pails,cooking outside. We have progressed upwards to 1700 + taps on pipe line with vacuum.Cooking on a 4x12 with auf/aof . This year we added a wetline and vacuum booster, also updated to Busch mink vacuum pump. New for 2015 will be a Leader Extreme 2 R/O as well as buying sap from some of the locals.
Are you getting all you have ?
From the looks of your yield numbers you would do well to get all the sap out of the trees you are tapping now ! Vacuum is the biggest production booster you can get !
If it were easy , everyone would be doing it !!!
vacuum
Yep , we are working on that upgrade before we open up more woods. Looking at Indiana vacuum
