Collected 80 gallons this morning plus the 20 gallons we had on hand and the 50 gallons from yesterday made for a 150 gallon boil we just finished! We'll collect again after a bite to eat. We plan to finish todays batch on the stove tomorrow, then collect again in the late afternoon. Fun times! Ted
This is what we've been waiting for! Collected 50 gallons last evening and the sap is stilll running! This mornings total TBA. ted
Finished the season with 17.25 gallons! A record for us. Ted
Put out 22 taps today, Leader 5/16" CV Spouts, with tubing into 5 gallon buckets on the ground hoping for a bit longer season. I'll put out the 7/16" spiles with aluminum buckets when the temps warm a bit more. Ted
Hey all! Just Checking in. Nice to see we finally got our own page! Think im going to scale back this year. My chief bucket hauler and wood splitter graduated! Good luck all.
Good Morning All. Great to see Iowa on here! Not much happening for me but hoping the next coupe days get things rolling.
Buds are out here.The last boil was Friday night and there was a slight smell and about halfway through the syrup started to change and then the smell was horrible.It was a great season and I will finish up with a little over 50 gallons of syrup.
It's amazing to me the difference in Iowa. You guys down south are done and I've barely pulled anything yet. In the past 15 years I bet I average 24th of march for the end of season.
Wow! Very Nice! You've come along way my friend! I'm impressed!
