I guess I was wrong. By now I thought prices would have climbed to at least $3 for B. Just shows, maybe everyone was not real honest about how bad a season they had. There was more syrup than reported at season's end.

I plan to bring the bush with vac from 400 up to 550 and add another 200+/- on a row of 75 mature roadside sugars that the landowner has asked if I would like to tap.Should bring me to just over 900 with 550 on vac.

I think they stated crop was down 19% from last year which should put it close to a normal year because last year was a banner year here and north of the border.

I read 19% down as well but read NY had a good % increase in product. I was baffled I had the worst year in 3 generations.
