I plan on selling sap from a 4000+ tap bush on our newly acquired farm which is being managed to a Forest Management Plan. It's unclear at this time whether I will invest in a pipeline or a sap buyer will. I would like to maximize the income from sap sales but I want to assure that I or a sap buyer don't harm the health or future production of the bush. Should the sap buyer invest in the pipeline, I am aware a long-term lease is reasonable. I would love to create a list of practices which I should watch out for that might harm the future production of the bush. These practices likely will be included in any long-term lease.
