Maple tax time is here, Getting the books in order for 2009.
Sales were down a little in 2009 but only because our production was short this year too. Expenses were high as usual with containers and equipment purchases topping the list. Records show that we made a little money, but I am always amazed at how much we spend on this hobbyI try to roll some dollars back into to equipment upgrades each year. The candy machine and the large Hobart mixer will aid in producing value added maple products. Mileage was up in 2009, as I hauled home a lot more wood this year.
The crew is in to the late muzzle loader/archery season and we saw one whitetail Sat. afternoon while hunting in Crawford County.We usually have 3 to 8 guys in our group and have a good time doing some small drives and pushing deer to each other. Also with lots of standing in the road drinking coffee and trying to decide what patch of woods to drive next.
Regards,
Chris
