UVM Extension has completed the first year of financial analysis with Vermont maple producers. The program is inviting more VERMONT maple producers to join the project for the next two years. Participants will work one-on-one with a farm business adviser to complete a detailed cost of production analysis for their operation. The data from all participants is then combined to produce industry averages for various types of businesses (ie 5,000 tap vs 15,000 tap).
