Maple Syrup Production in Full Swing
Maple syrup producers are under half the numbers of recent years but expect about 20 000 Ballons to be marketed before the season ends in around two weeks. Harry Burns notes cool sap runs aided by sunny weather as syrup from within a 15 mile radius of Corry totals roughly 10 producers versus 25 a few years ago. Local logs and syrup work have driven many to sell sugar bushes for timber, with syrup reaching nearly all states including parts of New England.
