    WOW! Over 25 gallons of sap per tree on a year like this? How did you accomplish that?
    1960 - 1970s 70 taps on galvanized buckets with Dad and Grandpa.
    1970s - 1985 Acted crazy!
    1986 - 2005 20-30 buckets.
    2006- 2017 70 buckets and bags
    2017-2019 100 bags and buckets
    2020 Finally retired!!! 75 buckets, 50-75 on tubing. RO Bucket, New 12 X 16 Shack and a 42X42 flat pan.
    2021-Adding another 125 taps along with a second RO bucket.
    2022- Shooting for 350 taps, with 100 on lines.
    Lots of Family and Friends and dogs named Skyy and Nessy!

    At 40:1, 520 gallons of syrup from 1100 taps is 18.9 gallons of sap per tap.

    Went off the deep end. Might be in over my head...

    Seeing that it was an early tap, I was figuring less than a 2% average for the season.
