Redrilling. Interesting topic. We tapped Feb, 24 so we've been tapped in for 6 weeks. Weather has been cold but fortunately here in the Plymouth area we've had enough warm days to have some good sap runs but no gang busters. Because of the seasonable cold weather, the taps holes are still running. We just need to be patient. One thing I've noticed, because of the cold temps, is that the syrup batches have been consistently the same color throughout the season. Also, lower sap totals so far but much higher sugar than normal. Just my observations, and no opinions. If the season ended at the end of this week, we would be happy with our totals.
