Walhowdon Farm

With an average sugar content of 1.43% and 93,500 gallons of sap we made 1,555 gallons of syrup.
We can roughly guess how much syrup we will make each day by using the rule of 86.

Take 86 and divide it by the sugar content of sap that day, then take the number of gallons collected that day and divide it by the previous answer to get a pretty accurate total of syrup you should make on that given day.

Ex. 86/1.43 =60.14 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup

93,500 gallons of sap this year / 60.14= 1,554.7 gallons of syrup!

Time to clean equipment and pull taps to get ready for next year!

Today is the final day of maple season 2026! Total sap collected-93,500 gallons
Sugar content ranged from 2% down to 1%
Any guesses on the season total??

When you don't have food ready fast enough... Yeti wants to know why and inspects what's going on in the feed room. 😂

Something cool!

Just a bit of fun! This heifer was born solid red and is now getting a black mask and muzzle! The photos were taken 6 weeks apart!

Sugar is high, vacuum is in good shape and sap is clear! Let’s hope for a good season!!🤞🍁
