We put in 72 taps today and will be around 100 after tomorrow. Some of the trees were gushing and others weren"t running at all but it's exciting to be back at it!

We finished up our offsite woods yesterday, 112 taps total. Everything we tapped was running like crazy. Most of that is on east-facing slopes. I'll be glad to get back to our flat property, we'll get in around 175 more there.
We had 270 gallons at the end of the day yesterday, but that includes sap from 33 we put in on Wednesday.
Except for tonight our forecast is really good through Sunday.

Just shy of 500 gallons of sap processed so far. These warm temps and a full time job mean I will likely be dumping some sap over the next 24 hours or so.
Hmm, would you be up for dumping sap into my transfer tank? Just getting ready to set 100+ taps here in Bloomington. What few taps I had out last week got almost nothing. Most of the trees I tap are right in town and I’ve found its enough of a heat island that folks in the country will have a run when I’m getting nothing.
Can be reached at 812-325-seven six three seven. Thanks! Mike Bell
