Today was the last day of gathering maple sap. this season has been better than last, but far from seasons gone by when we had continuing days of syrup production. We only get a one or two day run, or a 5 day freezup. Those of you who skauf at the term, "climate change", should take another look!! We have calandars hung on the walls of the saphouse, and they were quite consistant, season wise, until about 5 years ago. We had all the buckets emptied Sat. and made a bit darker syrup still in the medium amber range, from all the sap. Our wood supply was dwindling, so Sunday we cut more fire wood, and dumped it into the woodshed. The sap really never ran from the Sat gathering. The buckets only had a quart or two in them today, and the sap was not clear, and sugar content dropped to only 1.5%. Tomarrow we will start pulling buckets and spiles. Then we have to wash the evaporator pans, and all 2300 buckets with the high pressure washers and some acid wash in the evaporator pans to cut the calcium build up in them, and then store every thing away for next year. I will post some more pics, of all that "fun" in the next coupple days. It's time to perp the farmland for oats and seeding anyway. Spring is near two weeks late. I would also like to thank each and everyone of you who have placed orders for our maple products, I hope they are beginning to show up on your door steps Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
