What's the current bulk price for grade A amber?
Mark
Mason 2x4 w/raised flue pan, 240 gal. sap tank, 80 Reds on 5/16 tubing and Lunchbox releaser/pump, 20 sugars on buckets
I heard Bascoms is paying: Golden 2.15 Lb, Amber & Dark 2.00 Lb and Very Dark 1.85 Lb.
Blaisdell's Maple Farm
started on a 2x2 pan in 2000 and now
custom built oil fired 4x12 arch by me
Thor pans Desinged by Thad Blaisdell
4600 taps on a drop flue 8-4 split
Canadian dollar is currently at .74 US. Quebec Federation support on Golden is $2.95 Canadian = $2.18 US. I understand Bascom has enough syrup on hand to cover his markets until August. At this point, the major producing areas in the US have a great start on a bumper crop. I haven't heard anything about Quebec yet but it is very early for them. All in all it does not look like prices will strengthen.....
I wonder what Trumps 20 percent "border tax" on Canadian syrup will do to the price?
If that happens it should help our bulk price climb 20% +/- a little.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Any updates on 2017 bulk prices? Is $2.00 a pound the going rate for 2017?

Dark $2.00
Very Dark $1.85
Processing $1.25
Ropy or unfilterable $.75
