Saturday I put in two prospecting taps in my sugarbush. I was concerned with the warming trend that I may be late or even miss the sap run. Sunday evening I was more concerned that I went too early when there was no sap in my milk jugs. Tonight I had a small victory. My jug closest to the house and in a less wooded area of my sugarbush was about 20% full of sap. The other tap had a small amount of sap that had already frozen. I am thinking after the Super Bowl to I will sink the other ten taps I am planning on doing this year.
If I can get 20 gallons of sap from my maples I am hoping to get at least 5 gallons of syrup. Provided I don’t mess this process up.
