Well I had a 5min window to snap some sunset pics. This is what I got.
More snow in the forcast for the next week.
May have to use the Case 310 dozer in the sugarbush this year. With all the late winter snow maybe we will have a better maple syrup year than last.

I was just thinking it should be good weather for sugaring. That is if it thaws enough to run.

Brendon, Not at all sugaring weather!! March is syrup weather most years.We need temps above freezing during days and then below over night. the sap runs the best when the sun melts snow free circles around the maple tree stumps and the frozen snow starts melting into the ground, to provide moisture promoting osmosis in the trees. Last year was an open winter and in March we had long spells of cold weather followed by only a couple of days of above freezing temps, and then it warmed up and stayed above freezing.--end of season!! The deep snow will extend the season, providing moisture and insulation to slow down ground melt. (more snow-more syrup)

Have you got the little dozer back together? we haven't seen any pic's. These pictures you have today look cool, er. I mean , chilly, much like here. Your uncles Dairy looks like a picture postcard. Very nice.

I know its not yet. I meant with all the winter we've been having. I put out about 50 buckets here and do a little for myself. I'd like to build a small sugar shack if I ever get caught up. I figure it takes 40 gallons of sap 5gals of gas and 5gals of beer to make a gallon of syrup.

I know you have talked about your time as a Case dealer but I would like to know your impressions about being a dealer in NY during the 1960's and 1970's. It seemed like there was quite a bit of upheaval including when Tenneco bought Case. I am not trying to pick on Case as dealers of all colors had trying times with their manufacturers. It will be kind of sad in another twenty or thirty years as a lot of small dealer stories will be lost to time.

Heard abouut one sugarer gettin the cops called on him . Someone saw the buckets and thought it was a meth lab. I hear everyone got a good laugh and think they cops even got a sample of maple syrup. lol

I saw that on the internet a couple years back. The were apparently newbies at making syrup, because what they were pouring out and calling syrup, was only about half boiled down.
