The sap is flowing really well now. Got nearly 40 gallons over the last couple of days and as of noon all trees are dripping with most of them turned on full bore! Kinda surprising really didn't expect it....

2020 1st season- 8 gallons of syrup
2021 2nd season- 11 gallons of syrup
2022 3rd season 6 gallons of syrup
2023 4th season- 7 gallons of syrup
I guess I am behind and don't have a single tree tapped! Wondering if anyone in the Milaca area or central Mn region is seeing any sort of run?
Haven't tried. Snow too deep. At this point I'm resigned to wait until the weekend of the 18th to tap. That following week looks perfecto.Originally Posted by Keitha333
Don't know why but these last few days have been the best my trees have ever dripped out. I have my 100 gallons in 3 days......done collecting. Boiling on Saturday.

This is very interesting to me...ChaskaSap. Do you know what your high/low temps were? Makes me think I should have tapped!
Just north of Garrison - we are in a different hemisphere than southern Minnesota - lol. But sometimes it seems like it. I have not set any taps and guessing AT LEAST another 5 days.
Seems like it! A guy in the Isanti area has had taps out for the past week and only has a a couple gallons. I will tap Sunday even though the long range does not look favorable other than a few days late next week. I have a feeling they may run a bit.
More snow Thursday? **sigh**
I tapped 50 trees today in the snow. Odd thing was that even though it only got to 30 degrees some of the holes were saturated before I got the tap in after I drilled. Never expected that at that temp. Maybe a run late in the week.
We had some pretty cold temps here in Rochester for the past few days 33 and 32 respectively. Both days this app ran and got about a half gallon each.
2019 2.25 Gallons of Syrup on 6 Taps
2020 12.5 Gallons of Syrup on 37 trees and 54 Taps
2021 25 Gallons on 70+ Trees and 100+ taps.
2022 42 Gallons on 60 Select tress with 120+ taps
2023 only doing 75 taps this year. Last year was overwhelming.

I will be experimenting with cold shock gravity filtering.
