SUMMARY OF SEASON

OFFICERS & DIRECTORS

he Connecticut maple season was not outstanding, but turned
out okay. After a very late start and the relatively short season that
followed, early reports indicate that the season was a fairly good one
for most. Sap generally flowed well over the 4 week season and had
good sugar content throughout. In fact, a few producers, surprisingly,
reported their best crop in a long time, but most said it fell short of exceptions primarily due to the season’s shortness and, in some cases,
the inability to tap some trees due to extreme snow depth. Vacuum assisted tubing
made a big difference again.
