Brent, heard your area was to get freezing rain today.

Brent, have you tested the sugar in your sap?

The neighbour said he wasn't going to tap any soft maple this year because of the bud size. I looked at some of mine and they didn't look too bad. I'm pretty sure the buds on the hard maples are more noticeable than normal. I saw a sapling hard maple and it looked almost like it was going to pop. I hate this winter that wasn't winter. No ice in Lake Erie and no elevation could quite likely result in a poor season.
