Maple Syrup report Late Feb, 2009
A return of cold weather to much of southern Ontario has stopped the chance of early season sap flow for now. Cold weather is a good thing however, which will help delay the best sap flows until after February when the better sap flows can be expected. Very early sap flows are often low in sugar concentration and may not be economical to process into syrup anyway. It is better to wait but be fully ready. It is better now to focus on getting all maple processing equipment and measurement equipment ready and properly calibrated for the upcoming maple syrup season. See Maple Syrup Festivals in Ontario. More information on Maple Syrup harvest from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (Feb.23, 2009).
