    I don't think your missing a whole lot yet hilltop maple. I'm outside of Schroon Lake, a little colder than the village is, and it's just getting started. About 42 degrees for a high today, not much sun though. I've got 25 trees with good sun and vacuum on them and they gave me about 1/2 gallon sap per tap today, the rest are in the woods facing north and west and were just getting going when I got home from work at 4:00 today. It's been a good opportunity to start catching up and work out some of the kinks in my operation at least. Hopefully it will start after this next bit of cold weather.

    I'm looking for a St Lawrence, or Jefferson County producer who's working with buckets and firewood. I've done it for years, but I've worn out my back, and have to give up the heavy labor part. I'd be interested in a couple barrels per year to fill a niche market next season.
