    I know there is alot of equipment new with copper in them. I think Leader was still making pre heaters with your choice of copper or stainless until last year or the year before. I know the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers' Association is pushing bulk buyers to not buy from producers that are not certified. I feel like a Farmer with 35 cows not enough money and too much work.

    I was told that lead free had to go but found this in frequently asked questions.
    13. If my sugarhouse has equipment that might contain lead, what is the highest
    reading (%) I can receive on a lead test and still be Certified?
    VMSMA will not be Certifying any sugarhouse that has equipment containing lead (so the
    percent allowed is 0%). The solution will be to eliminate any equipment that might contain
    any trace of lead such as brass fittings and valves, and galvanized buckets and tanks. We
    understand some of the new brass is stamped “LF” for lead free and that will be allowed.

    So I changed a bunch of things for nothing!! I wish the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers asses would get things figured out
