What are you tapping that for south, Reds? Great to have a wider base of producers.

I plan to bring the bush with vac from 400 up to 550 and add another 200+/- on a row of 75 mature roadside sugars that the landowner has asked if I would like to tap.Should bring me to just over 900 with 550 on vac.

I met some Amish that had came to the tubing seminar in Somerset County, Pa. They picked up their new RO while they was there, a 1000 gal a hour unit. They needed it pretty bad for their 7000 tap operation in southern Kentucky. Yeah Sugar maples! South of the Mason-Dixon, Don't tell Al Gore it may ruin his global warming gig. Mark 220 Maple
