    Default Maple Producers of Nova Scotia Annual General Meeting

    Hello fellow NS producers,

    The Maple Producers of Nova Scotia AGM is on January 21st. Below is the agenda.

    I joined MPANS a few years ago and have made some great contacts from the group. Whether you tap 20 trees or 20,000, they are a welcoming bunch to anyone who has an interest in maple syrup.
