    I have to agree with wood burner. We taped on the 6,7,and finished on the 8th but the return i think was worth the risk with the weather pattern that we had as of yesterday we made 30% of are normal crop. I dont think tapping that early every year is the way to go but when i see a trend of more than 10 days i just can't help my self lol

    Finished tapping today, 360 on line. Just started running here about 2:00. Should be a good run coming . We have about 6to 8inches of packed snow in the woods. Tired but good tired, got a lot done in the last few days. Trees are dropped for next years firewood and we are ready to go in the sugarhouse and bush. Now for some sweet sap.

    BIG RUN, I figure it has run since 12 noon Monday and just slowed around noon today. Sap started at 2.4 and the last was 2.3. One of the best runs I have seen in a long time. This hot spot at the sugarhouse is great. Long day yesterday and today, should be done on the morrow. Hope everyone is enjoying this.

    this was a good run, though I wish I was seeing that 2.3% sap. finished boiling it all in last night. now I need to prep for the deep freeze and reset for the weekend. hard to believe I have almost 50 gallons of syrup made in early feb.
