We tapped the second week of Feb last year and missed a couple of runs. Our last boil was 19 April and when we pulled out our CVs on the 20th/21th, our holes were still wet and running. We are adjusting our strategy and tapping the second week of January next month. The CVs definitely kept our tap holes running. The sugarmakers near us who didn't use the CVs were done at the end of March.
