Had the Organic Inspector walking my woods yesterday. They are now cracking down on a few things starting this year. All went well but still not happy with $2.70 LB.

Well dug this old thread out, seamed to be an appropriate time for it. What's going on in the vt woods? With an abundance of help Sunday I felt like we made head way in the woods. Finally thanks to good friends and family it's coming together. Still got to wire the sugarhouse and plumb the RO. Then clean tanks and finish up the last section of woods. I think it's shaping up to be a good year, Im planing on tapping end of this month.
When's everyone else thinking they will tap in?

GeneralStark,
This Thread was started by Parker Maple ( over a year ago ) for all Vermont Sugar Maker's to give each other updates. Once the sap starts running this is the Thread i click on daily to see how everyone is doing. Why are you trying to end it and start a new thread? It's fun to read what each state is doing throughout the season. It would be better if we did not have more then one thread for Vermont Producers. I'm sticking with Parker Maple. Just my 2 cents.

Spud - I'm not trying to end anything. I responded to Parker's inquiry to give him a heads up that people were posting what they were up to in a different thread in case he was interested. After going back and reading my thread I actually see that you and Parker both posted in it.....A thread I had started to see what people are up to in VT in the 2015 season.
It seems like each state has their own way of setting up their season's tapping updates. I think Pennsylvania has a good model with one general season thread and then more specific threads. I don't frankly care how we do it, but please don't accuse me of staring a pissing match. I posted a thread to a public forum and people starting posting to it (including you and Parker). Parker revived his thread which you seem to think is the one VT producers should use. That's fine with me and I am ok letting my thread die.
Just having some fun and trying to see what others are up to...

Finished up the winter logging in the sugarbush just before the big snows came. Now looking to extend the mainlines and redo laterals for vacuum (Waterhouse sap puller) and set up the new collection tank. Don't plan on adding too many new taps this season, but hoping the vacuum will up production significantly

300 gravity tubing
200 buckets
