The fellows I know here made about half of a normal year and most of it was poor guality.Take in mind that here abouts if it isn't the colour of water it's not good guality.The guy I know the best had at least half of his production go commercial due to the trees budding by the 18 of March. We also had no snow here this year so it warmed up way to soon.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
KenWP, Theres is a big difference if you were west of Sherbrooke and east of it. Here , i made extralight and light, up to the "March summer week", make some medium, stop for a week, and it restart with light up to the end.. but west of Sherbrooke, it was a very bad season.
200 Buckets 2015
14 x 16 Cabane à sucre
2 x 5 Cantin evaporator
Even Coaticook is colder then here this year and that is 21 Kms east of me. I am waiting for the crop report I get in the mail sometime soon. Course it's in french LOL. Good thing I have lot's of old syrup as my trees never started this year. I maybe got 2 gallons of sap in the week they did run and then they budded out.
