    I have been getting between 3000 to 6000 gallons a day since the last freeze. The sugar is between 1.4% and 1.6%.

    This guy past Middlebury is definitely done. I can't believe how quickly trees here started budding. Yesterday morning the red maples were very swollen and today they are starting to flower. Sugar maples are visibly swollen and aspens are starting to flower as well. It hit almost 80 here yesterday and the previous night didn't go below 60. Same last night as well.

    This afternoon I'm draining the slime out of the pans and boiling some water to start cleaning the rig. Probably won't get to pulling taps until next week as I am taking a little "vacation" from sugaring this weekend. Good luck to all of you still making the C.

    Sorry. I was referring to Champlain Valley sugarmakers as I can't imagine anyone in this part of the state is making anything but C. Good luck east of the greens too! Seems like you guys might get through the heatwave.
