Way to go Parker. Definitely sound more prepared for this season than ever in the past past. 48 cords dry wood, you are definitely set. Good luck. Hope you make 1500+ gallons..

You know what I like most about Salisbury Sugarworks.............No bull****! If it takes a cord to make 8 gallons you say it. Underachieving ratio of gallons per tap, so be it. Running behind on getting ready, here you go. Keep at it Parker.

Parker that #### poke thing is working for me. I saw one fly over my sap tank in the woods Sunday evening and the sap has been flowing ever since. I experienced the #### poke thing while horned pout fishing at Hoyt Road Marsh. The saying there was "when the #### poke flies over Hoyt Road Marsh the horned pout start biting"! I am happy to say that it works for sap runs too! So fellow sugar makers look to the skies. If you see a #### poke fly over your woods turn on the vacuum pump if it isn't already!!!
