Tapping tomorrow. Tubing is up, hoping to get 100-125 taps in. The forecast looks good for the next couple of weeks.
40 taps in on Sunday, about half were wet or running. All Silvers in the Princeton area.
The Saturday run was a fairly good, my 70 taps pulled in just shy of 45 gallons. Most were dripping, some had about a gallon, others trickled. Of course there are several waiting for warmer days ahead Boiled it down yesterday and ended February with over a gallon of darkish amber.

Put in 44 5/16 drop to buckets today near Wrenshall and 1/3 were starting to drip.
Tapped and hung 150 buckets today in east central. Enough snow to make it tiring! Most trees were dripping slowly. Looks like a nice early start to the season.
Put in 19 taps yesterday north of Willmar, all Silvers. 2/3 were running today.
I had some production yesterday but this morning they all woke up at 9ish.

The Black Walnuts I tapped last week came to life yesterday. I've had some flow but not a lot until yesterday. Today I tapped 8 more around 11:00 am and each of them just gushed. Starting to look good. Fingers crossed.
Here's to a great season for all of us.
Best to everyone,
Johnny
I put in 64 taps in 26 silver maples SW of Hutchinson yesterday. Nearly all were dripping slowly. After about 5 hours, a few of the first trees to be tapped had about an inch of sap in the 5 gallon buckets.
