SUMMARY OF SEASON

OFFICERS / BOARD

I

t was a record season. The Mass numbers
were 77,000 gallons, 2,000 better than
last year which was our best season on record.
It made it nice to not have snow.

Overall, it was a good season. We made a
good deal of all grades. We had no reports of
off flavors.
I didn’t hear lots of reports on low sugar.
