Crawford County 2021
Sunday, Feb. 28th...
50 taps placed over the past week on Irish Ridge. We used snowshoes the first days making a path to trees still resting in over 18 inches of snow. Next trip brought buckets and hoses. When we drilled, we found dry wood, wet wood, and a few dripping slowly. We checked trees throughout the week and each day more trees got into the game. Leading us to Sunday morning. Plan A was to get at least some sap collected before church but a steady drizzle at daybreak put plan B into place. Only full buckets will be emptied this afternoon with a full collection Monday and first boil Tuesday morning.
Glad to see activity over in southeastern Wisconsin and Vernon County. We also follow the Iowa thread as Milleville has checked in and reported the season "on" earlier this week. They are located just across the Mississippi River from Cassville. May we all have a good season.
