Anyone hearing anything on what bulk pricing will be looking like for this season? I’ve heard from multiple folks in VT that prices will be down compared to last year, approximately down 6.5%.

Ive never sold bulk, never had enough, are these prices per pound?
2023 - 38 Gallons - RO broke, Buckets didn't run, rebuilt vacuum pump mid-season, still made good syrup!
2022 - 52 Gallons - DIY RO, 50% less fuel, no late nights in the shack!
2021 - 48 Gallons - new pans, new arch, lots of new taps and tubing
2020 - 32 Gallons
2019 - 27 Gallons
yes, per pound. I only sold B grade and off flavor in bulk, but I have purchased from local producers in bulk since 2018, when my season was cut short because of major surgery.
