After fourteen days of nice runs, trees shut down last night. Temps down in the low 20s and four inches of snow this morning. Sugarbush was froze fairly hard this morning, temps hovered low 30s all day, no sap. We were able to drain the back pan of the evaporator and clean it out, full of niter after boiling for 15 days straight. Things should start running tomorrow and looks like cool nights all week. If we can make it to 05 May, will be a fairly good year for us.

Shutdown yesterday around noon, sap was still coming in hard and clear but smelled bad.
We did 82,046 gal of sap. 26.9 gal/tap of sap. According to the Cornell sap sellers spreadsheet (which is awesome) this should have yielded:
1588.3 gal of syrup, putting us at 5.73 lbs/tap or .52gal/tap
4700 hundred taps
7.5 hp Airtech Liquid
2- 1.5 hp CDL electric releasers
Got things going again Saturday, still getting nice sap. Making over 200 gallons of syrup each day. Looks like we should be able to keep things going into the weekend. High temps arriving middle of next week which should bring things to an end.

That's great your still going in the NEK, I wonder if anyone is still going in the Pittsburg /Stewertstown area, I know there are a couple of newer operations up there.

Hows your sugar content. We are still going in northern ny at 1700 ft. Sap still clear but only 1.2 sugar. Had our last freeze sat night hope we can make it to the weekend.
Content was 2.2 yesterday morning. Our bush at 2,000 to 2,400' elevation is sending us the nice sap.
Two of the larger producers were all done last week, a couple of small producers with north facing slopes still going.
Good luck.
