2018 Bulk Price

[Haynes Forest Products]

I'm thinking its all based on SUPPLY and DEMAND. I will admit I come from a different perspective than most producers. If I was in it JUST for the money I would have quit long ago. I keep upgrading my equipment to meet industry standards and for my own satisfaction. I'm just a small drop in the bucket of this massive FUNGIBLE ocean of syrup. But every year I wake up in the spring with great enthusiasm hoping for a great season with all my upgrades in place. I make as much syrup that mother nature and my high performance upgrades will allow. I also hope I have a market for what I make and that it will lesson the burden on my investment.

Now ain't that a hoot I keep using the word investment. I made the mistake of pointing out to my wife that I INVESTED in new counter tops Stainless Steel appliances and a top of the line stove but her cooking hasn't improved one bit. Guy's did I say something wrong because she sure is acting funny.

Price is not the same as last year. Call Bascoms yourself. 603-835-6361

I did and that is what I was told from the horse himself. Maybe we are talking to different people.

Price is down a dime per pound across the board from what it ended up last year.

It wont stay there for long....try this for fun...tell them you have 75 bbls and see what the price is.....makes a difference if you have more than a couple of bbls.....but from what i hear its a great time to expand,,,add some tech.get more efficant and all that....ha ha

I like it when the equipment dealer says "buy your equipment from me and I will buy your syrup first". It works until he gets a new best friend.

I would think that would be counter productive for a dealer that is also a syrup wholesaler. Now if they only have room for only so much syrup then yea it would be a problem.

Just the other day I watched a video on YouTube of a interview of a guy named Glenn Goodrich, he is over seeing a install in Eden, Vermont, 200 thousand taps by 2022, making 150 barrels of syrup a day when trees are running full tilt! IMHO that should go along ways toward solving the world wide shortage of maple syrup plus stabilize the price of BULK Syrup at the same time! Maybe he can retail every gallon at the local farmers market, of coarse he will make a half a gallon syrup per tap or be considered a failure by his fellow syrup makers. Just think 100000 gallons of syrup!

Those are his. He leased the land for 30 years. He will have 4 evaporators running at once when done. They got about 50,000 done in Eden for this year. that makes about 80,000 for him this year.

He's alive! First post in.......maybe two years? I see you tried calling a few days ago. I'll catch up this week. Almost done tapping now so I'll have time.

he is alive, he is finally getting around to the HE injection.
talked to him yesterday, he sold 10 more gallons at 30 each. 7 dollars more a gallon than bulk price GO THAD GO! He said he doesn't care whose customers he steals as long as the money ends up in his pocket!
