Last year was the first year I kept records for syrup production, and it occurred to me that this year was a bad year, compared to last year. Last year, in only two weeks of tapping and boiling, we made 1.5 pints per tap. THis year, with a seven week season, we made only 1 pint per tap. If I had left my taps in for seven weeks last year, I would have probaby made 1.5 quarts per tap. THis year was a BAD year, and I hope you guys up North have a better year than I did. Looking forward to next year already, if I can only get my buckets clean. I dislike clean up, but it needs to be done.
