Finally had a chance to log in, trees are running but not as good as last year, we are short on ground moisture, had one small snow storm early Feb. can't buy a rain storm! Temps. have been near perfect. I believe with the cold weather my red maples may make it to the end of the season, this would be thrid time in 10 years if that were to happen. As of last night we should be setting about a half crop by my standards. Have not made a drop of dark yet and people are hollaring for it. It will come sometime I guess? As long as we keep getting into the single digits at night the chance for dark syrup is nil.
