Picked up another 230 gallons today and sap quality is still fairly good. Imagine everything this week will likely be a B grade, but that is good as I have a lot of demand for it and haven't even come close to making any so far. Temps in upper 60's tommorrow and about the same for the next 10 days. Normal end of season here is March 15th to 20th, so any sap this week is a blessing. Will probably get another 50 to 100 gallon tommorrow evening from the two bushes that I didn't pull the lines out of the tanks and it is over. Probably be somewhere around 4900 gallon of sap for the year from 500 gravity taps and probably around 90 to 92 gallon of syrup. Not the best syrup to tap ratio, but a great year in my book any year and especially considering what it looked like this time last month and I thank God for all the blessings.
