Milan is where Lapierre's sugarbush is. Kenwp you need to go see that operation 140,000 running right in the sugarhouse, I have been there when it is really running, quite impressive.

Syrup in Cantley
Finished my last boil last night. 26 Taps and ended up with 24 litres (6.3 US Gallons). I am pretty happy with that considering the funny weather this year. I have never collected sap in a T-shirt before.
Are you done now?

Started 1986 12 taps made 3 gallons boiled over open fire in large pot then to 18" x 66" evaporator boiled at 20 gph, 132 taps made 30 gallons. Moved west no maplesbut back now
Now tap 60 trees, using D&G 18X48 wood Evaporator
Proabbly finished running tomorrow. Taps still dripping a bit tonight when I emptied every thing. Will gather tomorrow again and see what happens. Have to boil off a good bit and then finished.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
Hi Brian, i'm from Rimouski, about 5 hours, far east, from Trois-Rivière. That the end of the season, +16 yesterday +12 today and +8 for tomorrow. I've tapped 265 this year and made 16 gallon of syrup. BernardOriginally Posted by Brian Ledoux
I would say I am done here also. Pulled a few taps to put on birchs and they are budding like crazy now. If it froze tonight I might get something but in a week not a chance.

For some stupid reason some of the trees with no buds tried to run today. Weird. I pulled a bunch of taps already and hopefully the rest tomorrow night. I beat last year by a bit so am doing okay.
