tap count

[Clan Delaney]

Tap counts are continuing to pour in for our survey and we have yet to hear from the 60,000 tap member or anyone from Quebec, but it's interesting to see how IN, MA, & OH all seem to be dominated by hobby producers so far.

Hobby!?! I plan to make money at this!

Cool! Our first tap count has been posted from... Kansas! Thanks RevDoc. I've been very surprised at a few States making maple syrup and Kansas is another one I would have never guessed.

PA just took the lead... by a long shot! Sugarmaster must be the largest Maple Trader producer at 82,001 taps.

Awww... that's too bad 3rdgen.maple. There isn't enough room in the spread sheet for 6 digit tap counts so we'll have to pass on your latest tapping efforts.

Actually I heard 3rd gen's sugarbush only has 99,999 taps. His neighbor has 80,001 on his. They share 3rd Gen's rig for a total of 180,000 - all are still buried under 10' of snow however.

Thanks for clearing that up for Bryan. I did not know I had to list my neighbors taps that I put in and the taps on my own land seperate.. Really wish I would not have put them in before that BIG snowstorm the other day. Oh well it doesnt say on the poll I have to be getting sap from them, its just asking for a tap count. Geez now that I think about it, it does just say tap count. I got a few thousand more taps sitting in a pail in the sugarhouse. I will count those in the morning and put an ADDED post whenever I get done shoveling all that snow.

We could use some more tap counts in our poll - find the poll at the top of The Sugar Inn forum. Right now PA is kicking butt!

I can't believe the "5000 taps is considered a hobby farm" a few posts back! I guess up there a guy with two or three thousand taps is considered a "newbie", lol.
