The first few days of the season are always poor sugar content, it rises for a bit and then slowly declines unless we get a hard freeze for a few days. It always drops off at the end of the season too. It's hard to keep your spirits up when you've barely slept for 6 weeks, you're making syrup that looks like road tar and the sugar content is 60:1!!
