Earliest start we've ever had here. The forecast just couldn't be ignored. I did 90 taps on Sunday and 83 Monday. Had about 290 gallons in the tanks yesterday afternoon. Sap tested right at 2%. Even trees in North and East facing woods were running strong. Solid freeze last night and two more days of warm temperatures should keep us busy until everything freezes up on Friday.
