Cautions Optimism In Pellet Testing At Proctor Farm
The Proctor Maple Research Farm reports cautious optimism about Underhill pellets used in maple sap production this year. Dr James W W Marvin and Frederick Laing of the University of Vermont say the pellets extended the tophole opening, boosting flow and yielding an average year for some producers while others saw a poor year without pellet use. Long term tree damage at the taphole prompts further investigation and skepticism about paraformaldehyde in pellets.
