    Default Otsego County 2016

    Tapping away for the past three weeks. Getting ready for the run around the first of February. New season, 1000 new taps, bigger ro, bigger vacuum pumps, bigger releasers. Prediction, high % sugar year.

    I don't understand your comment. I checked my signature and it still says New Lisbon NY.

    I should have 4,700 in by the weekend. It looks like we have the potential to make 5 gallons of sap per tap next week if the weather holds.
