    Default Would like to tour a sugarbush in/near Barron county.

    This year I am thinking of setting up a pipeline system but don't really know much about it. I would like to find someone somewhat near by that has a pipeline set up who would be willing to take me on a tour of their set up and explain, how and why it is set up that way.

    I am near Rice Lake, in Barron county.

    Contact Jim Morley at Morley's Maple Syrup in Luck, WI. I'm sure he would be happy to show you a few of his runs if you make the drive to Luck. If not, he probably knows someone in your area he could connect you with.

    Be very careful who you get involved with....there have been alot of shoddy installations done over the past few years by people posing as professionals. Ask alot of questions, and always know that even if they may backed by major equipment companies, it really means nothing.

    That would be one benefit on contacting Morley's Maple Syrup. He is very involved in the WI Maple Syrup Producers Assoc., and is really trying to do Maple Syrup full-time between his retail operation and his syrup making. You will see a solid operation that was built from scratch.
