Due to the forecast for warm days and nights below 32F in central mo, tapped our 112 maple trees west of Jefferson City on 1/16, very early for this area, cooked on our arch which is basically the size of 2 half-pint pans setting on concrete blocks. First harvest on sat 1/17 yielded about 30 gallons sap and finsihed in the kitchen to yield 3.5 qts of beautiful amber syrup. 1/18 harvest was slow with 15 gallons, but today after a night at 27F and afternoon at 57F, we had another 30 gallons and decided to cook. good luck to other show-me state syrup teams!
