We had to pull the plug yesterday. Not much of a run for Thursday although it started ok and sap was clear by 3 pm sap was milky white and almost none coming in. Still ended up our best year total.

1700 Taps /1600 on Vac. 3x10 King evaporator
20 head Charolais cattle
8 head Lowline Angus
28 Miniature horses
90 hives honey bees
JD 4430 tractor
Bad I had only 7 runs and only two of them were good. Made just over a pint per tap
20 plus years of 2 by 2 flat pan
2014 new Phaneuf 2 by 6 drop flue
350 taps on gravity 20 on bucket
Not that bad at all.
Around Maine Maple Sunday we thought that it was going to be the worst season ever. We lowered our expectations a lot, and were actually pleasantly surprised by the runs we got at the very end of March and into April. Since we weren't expecting it, it turned out way better than we thought.
