I would say its time for some big money investors set-up some new packing facilities with a fully staff sales team (rather then backing more mega production )
The current packers can only do so much!

Well I have to say you guys are more excited than me. I personally rather have an average year and higher syrup price than an crazy above average year and see the price go in the toilet.
How much we make in VT has little bearing on the bulk price.Originally Posted by hogisland42

I'd be with you Hogisland if I was a bigger producer. But bulk prices don't seem to impact retail much, for now. As long as that's the case, I'll always get excited to make as much as possible since I don't sell much bulk syrup and like to put up a rainy day supply, which has never actually happened!

The best thing bulk producers could do if they want the price to stop dropping is to pull their taps right now. Who's in?

Wondering what folks are doing, if anything, for open house this weekend. Working on the 10th day straight of no sap here and doesn't look to loosen up until early next week. I had registered with VMSA but pulled the plug yesterday as I don't foresee a very rich sugarhouse experience with a frozen evaporator. I have always been reluctant to do the more public VMSA open house weekend for just this reason. Plan to advertise something more locally and last minute in April, when I have a sap forecast. Have folks done open house without boiling? Or boiled... water? Not sure I could do that.
