| Hello/Intro Taylor Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. In this program we'll look at maple sugaring past -- present and future. We begin with Agricultural Commissioner Steve Taylor. He shows us the maple syrup tradition from 2 perspectives in his occasional series we call "Steve Taylor's Real New Hampshire." |
| Intro 2006 Season Return to index of stories... |
Maple sugaring usually lasts about 6 weeks from mid-February to mid-April. Those freezing nights and warm sunny days are what make for a good sap harvest. But this year, above normal temperatures in January caused the sap to begin moving early. So, how has that impacted the maple sugar season? Here to talk about it: Tim Fleury the Forest Resources Extension Educator with the UNH Cooperative Extension. Welcome. Q What happens when the sap begins to flow early -- does that translate into a lower OUTPUT? ideal conditions: 40's by day, 20s at night. Sap starts running when the trees unfreeze -- if not captured what happens to it???? Q Is the first run -- the BEST sap of the season? How is it different. ** sugar content of the sap changes with temperature Q Some sugar producers in MA & VT did tap trees a month early? ** ANY NH producers tap early that you know of??n Q Is their a danger in tapping too early? Q What happens if cold snaps follows that warm spell? fresh wound in tree heal??? Q Don't want to TAP more than once in a season-- WHY? Q Tap Holes close about 6 weeks after drilling -- if started early, end season early?? Q Some say its folly to predict sugar making. Wager a guess as to what kind of season we'll see? Q Any advice for backyard producers. Q Increasingly seeing warmer winters -- what does that mean for the Future of the Maple Sugar Industry? lower output because of the region's increasingly warm winters. BETH: When it comes to Maple sugaring -- Producers are quick to tell you -- the WEATHER really is in charge of everything. Lets hope the weather is kind for the rest of the season. Tim Fleurry thank you for helping us better understand the process and the impact climate has on the output. |

Christies Maple Farm has since bought new property in Lancaster and this season is only tapping 4500 trees on the land. There are some 40-thousand trees on the new property that can be tapped -- they hope to tap all of them within the next five years. |
| Intro Ben Fisk Return to index of stories... |
In 2004, a 15-year-old boy beat out entries from all over the state to win the award of excellence in maple syrup production from the NH Maple Producers Association. Since we first spoke to Benjamin Fisk -- the Temple teenager has turned 17 years old and has graduated from high school. Fisk has been producing syrup since he was five years old and his maple syrup business is booming. |
