    I have not got a chance to watch the video, though after 10 years they care? Maybe Leader has change their ways under new management, they dropped 300000 dollars worth of equipment, then drove off! Maybe because the owners wife told the Vice President of Leader at that time that we have trees in West Virginia, not brush that she was shown being tapped near Swanton, Vermont

    "West Virginia, not brush that she was shown being tapped near Swanton, Vermont" Not going to start anything but I'm going to point out those are heavy words that could be misinterpreted.

    Yes I agree, the Vice President at the time was offended per my buddy Henry Brenneman, so offended that they sent their tubing expert to West Virginia to see why some smart mouth lady that had never tapped a tree or made one drop of syrup would say something like that! So the former tubing expert looked it over and personal told me he had been in every state that makes syrup, his opinion this was probably the best sugarbush he had ever seen! Maybe he got fired for reporting something like that? Just kidding! I doubt if they ever reach their potential in there, 80000 to 100000 taps running directly into the sugar house, small time compare to Vermont sugar bushes, for sure!
