2019 NYS winter conference, now at the NYS fairgrounds
Here is what is available for the Jan. Conference previously held at VVS School in Verona. https://sugarmakers.nysmaple.com/wp-...rence-2019.pdf
Updates will appear as they become available. Plan to come, it will not be as crowded with the larger Venue.
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.
With the change of location can you still guarantee it’ll be at least -20 deg F like usual?

Time will tell on that. Just dress for the temperatures.

I might attend this year, I've only been once. Will they have a schedule or at least list of talks/speakers before registration is due?
I'll bet they will have a list. In the last 15 years they have when it was held in Verona and it looks like Keith Schiebel, who oversaw everything at Verona is again the coordinator. That list develops as the conference gets near. Usually it is pretty well set but not 100% confirmed by early December. As soon as I see a list I will post it on this thread. Unfortunately that list is not very firm before the Dec. 1st deadline.
In the past there have been 4 or 5 sessions on Saturday with several options fore which might interest you most in each time slot. They have run 5,6 or 7 in each slot. I will post as much info as I can get as soon as I get it. I have put out an email to Keith, the coordinator, for the info as it developes. Either he or I will post it on this thread.

I sent Steve Childs an email. (Steve, Cornell Maple Specialist, is handeling the programming) Hopefully he will give us some info before the deadline for registration. I can only guarantee there will be something for all levels from beginner to multi generational producers.
Each time slot always gives 4-5 or 6 choices for attendees to go to.
