    Did a great visit out to Mapleland Farms this weekend out your guys way in Washington Co. Heck of a showing they had but Dave Campbell said it was their last weekend of boiling...kind of wonder if this weather changed their minds with 18k taps out on the line...

    Good luck to all you other small guys like me, I'm seeing my sugar content creep back up here in Saratoga.

    2 of my 3 lines are still running clear. Maybe one more boil left if I get anything good. 29 gallons so far this year. Closing in on my record 35 1/2 last year.

    Going really strong getting my best runs of the season over the past two days. Hit a record of 407 gallons of syrup so far with 3000k taps and looking like great sugaring weather for next week. Still getting clear sap but low sugar content this year. Best reading was 2.1 this year. Niter is starting to build up finally. Sugar maples are holding strong the reds buds are looking pretty swollen.

    Got 200 gallons from 200 taps. Not that bad in my book. Low sugar content is making it tough to keep going wood pile is dwindling. Booked my room for openhouse weekend in VT. 2 days of all maple allright...................

    I made 8 gallons yesterday, down to the last of the firewood, enough for the weekend and Im calling it good. Out of the 8 gallons the first 3 were a not quite dark robust a little on the light side the last 5 gallons went back to a amber rich, really nice flavor . Saps not running today ,going to collect what I have looks like around 600 gallons and boil like crazy tomorrow morning.

    Fat lady is singing here. Back pan let out some off smells tonight and syrup has a cooking grade taste. It's been a good season for what we were dealt. Let the cleanup begin......

    Same here today Comstock, finished out the season , tanks are empty, woodshed is empty and 107 Gallons for the books. It was really awesome the last 10 gallons today was all light Amber rich. The sap was really getting cloudy , so I called it done. I ran it all out then flooded the pans with about 6 inches of sap and Ill let them soak for a couple of weeks the power wash out. It was a great season , take care all and God bless ,Allen
