What a load of crap.

We tapped our trees a couple of weeks early this year and had just about normal production levels. It just seems to have stopped a couple weeks earlier than usual because of a cold spell and an awful lot of cloud cover but there's still a couple weeks left before the peepers come out and we pull all the spiles.

Then again where I live we have no government regulation of the syrup industry. You can sell everything you can produce. Then again, I'm not in Quebec and Quebec is not the same as Canada.
