Great Job!
Excellent! I've got you at .4732 gal syup per tap, no suck, no squeeze. It is these small feet on the earth operations that give all the rest of numbers true perspective.

Very nice!!!!
Sounds like you had a very productive year, good to hear it. Your sugar content was pretty high which is great. Now you can start your plans for next years changes (that is if there are going to be any). It was great following your progress. Have a great "off season".
