    Default Buying sap

    My neighbour has approached me about buying his sap as he doesn’t have time to boil this year. Neither of us is sure what is a fair price to pay for it? I know it will vary by region but what is the going rate for sap and how do you calculate it? I’m assuming it will vary based on sugar content?

    Hello,
    There are several sap value calculators online. I found 1 on ohiomaple.org.
    This 1 was supposedly developed with Cornell and Ohio State. Cornell also has a
    Sap buying spreadsheet available for download.
    Good luck

    I use Cornell's spread sheet, you will just need to correct it to Canadian currency.
    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.
