Crappy Sap flows- eastern Ontario, will it every start before things get warm.
Hello everyone, seems some of us larger commercial guys are having some bad sap flows this year. Perhaps others are having the same issues. Please share. Our sugarbush is 5 min north of Belleville in the Quinte District. This has been one of the worst sap flows we have ever seen. Yet the sugar is between 2.8-4.1 which is double what we normally see. The season would be a right off if it was at 1.6% like the last year. Currently we are sitting at 20% crop this year.
