Hi bmbmkr,

Thanks for the reply. I am in the Somerset, KY area, about 50 miles south of Lexington.

I don't have a big production, just went around my property and marked 20 of the maples.

I had read that the sugar content in always lower in the early part of the season, which makes me nervous. Given the weather last year, I had a friend whose production spoiled due to the weather we had in Feb/March this year.

I think I may try to tap 5 trees and see how they do.

Just out of curiosity, Do you tap every maple you can find, or just sugar maples?

I had not seen that, and it looks really interesting - thanks for showing.
