My brother and I did a lot of work this year to increase our volume made. We cleared all under brush from a new sugar bush of hard maple around 16 acre's worth. Skidded out over 200 cord of firewood. Ran 22,500' of sap line,2,500 of mainline and built a new sugarhouse. We also had to buy a bigger evaporator for for boiling the sap down to syrup,found a great used one in vermont. Now our only concern is we have no snow yet and our temp has been well above average. We need snow bad to make this work out properly for us. Take care and I'll be getting back to ya when we get going. We went from around 325 taps to 2500. Lets just hope the weather cooperates. Had to take a break in the middle for haying season on his farm but we will be ready.
