Well we didn't collect a lot of sap, but we needed to get into the woods and do some maintainance. Yesterdays wind driven snow took down some limbs and blew off a number of bucket lids. We have two of these home made gathering trailers, made from ols manure spreader frames with 275gal oil tanks fabed with the top to dump in, and control sloshing and a 2.5" pivoting drain pipe to unload. We have picked up 6-8" of good old "sap snow" We also got dumped on this afternoon while gathering, and we all went home soaked to the arz. In total we gathered a bit over 500gal of sap from 1375 12qt buckets, enough so we can load the evaporators tomarrow and make sure we are ready to go. When and if the sap really starts to run the trees will fill the buckets in a 24hr period equaling over 4,000gal of sap, which should yield perhaps 75-100 gal of syrup. Had to put a bandaid on one leak in the storage system today. Loren, the Acg.

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
