21 degrees this morning. Trees on my hills are not showing signs of budding. I’m hoping for one more run.

Sugaring since 2000.
2022 - 113 taps on tubing and gravity. Homemade wood fired evaporator and homemade RO.
2023 - 120 taps on 5/16 and gravity added a float to the pan. built a new 5x400gpd RO. Still use the old one too!
2024 - 125 taps still on 5/16 tubing and gravity, two home made ROs.
Same here in Bennington. Hoping for a good weekend and that will max us out.
My last collection and boil will be after work today...........nearly two weeks after I said I was done the first time this year. lol

Doing the same right now! Sap still looking and tasting good from the sugar maples in the cold areas. Will find out a little later how it holds up to a boil near finished temps.Originally Posted by wnybassman
