don't take life too serious, nobody gets out alive anyways!
Folks,
Just my 2 cents.
I believe we will be raising our syrup prices this year. Its been many years since they were increased. We don't make a lot. Like some others in the maple industry I want to sell a memory, or a experience, not just syrup. I want folks to understand the name on the product label is my family name!
Good luck in your maple adventures! Have a great 2019 season!
Regards,
Chris

My sales haven't suffered any because of the lower prices in the supermarkets and wholesale outlets. My prices are about the same as other producers in my area and I'm not planning to raise or lower them anytime soon. People around here can buy a quart of syrup for around 12 or 13 dollars in a store while my quarts are 18 dollars. I get some people that say that they can buy it cheaper elsewhere but more often than not they hand me a twenty and say keep the change. They know who made it and they know that they are supporting a local business.

Russ,
Good summary!
Follow a sugarmaker around for a couple days and see the equipment, costs, care, and hours put into each quart. The $20 looks pretty darn good.

Considering NAFTA came into effect in 1994 (and it's predecessor was from 1988) and Crown Maple is American, how does free trade has anything to do with a recent decline in syrup prices? I don't believe the more recent agreement (USMCA) treats maple syrup any differently than NAFTA did.

I don't think Fred was pointing his Finger North, After All he is Selling Equipment From a Canadian company. you could say that the relative cheapness of table sugar is directly related to Free Trade, and I think it would be easier to compete in the Market place if Table Sugar and Corn Syrup "which we All know is Highly Subsidized " was priced Higher. There probably wouldn't be enough syrup.
