Well all good things come to an end. Yesterday we pulled the last batch of syrup off the big evaporator, and tore down about 750 buckets. It started raining hard about 4:00pm, and continued into the night. This morning we went up and lit a small fire in the big evaporator, which was flooded with water yesterday, to push the last of the syrup through. Spent most of the morning washing down the pans in it. We transfered the half boiled sap from the big evaporator,to the small one while flooding it. we made another 21 gals., of surup, from the residual sap in both evaporators. Flooded the small evaporator this afternoon, when we couldn't get temp in pans up over the boiling point. ( water will only get up to 212D. you don't have syrup until temp gets up to 219D. tomarrow we will start a small ire in the small evaporator to heat the water we put in it this afternoon and wash it down, plus get a start on washing the 1500 buckets we hung this year. Each one gets hand washed and rinsed, and the spiles get boiled in a pot to steralize them. the school kids will be up to help, take down the last 750 bkts. and wash them. We should be all done Sunday aternoon. The SS 40gal. drumbs will go to a down state processor, for $1600 plus $225, the price of the SS barrels,(refundable on return, undamaged, and clean). The woods look a lot different now. The Maylowers are starting to blossum and the leaks are coming on, and the sugarbush has taken on a new look since the snow melt. E-mail open for ordering info. last call. Loren, the Acg

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
