Well, I'm afraid the sugaring season is winding down. We eaked out a couple more good runs in the last 10 days and maybe we will get another, couple of runs, but the syrup is comeing of dark now and is comercial grade rather than lighter retail grades, so we are barreling it all. We're starting to loose some of out manpower also. The uncle started moldboard plowing today. He plowed about 300A last fall, but still has another 200A to go. One of the cousins started spreading lime today, and has lots of fertilizer and dehydrated chicken manure to spread. The rest of us will have to fill the gaps left without them in the sugar bush. Our big evaporator, the one in the pic with the door open is on it's last legs. The flue pan is been fixed several times and leaking again. This evaporator is 60 something years old. It has served us well. The cousins found a newer one that another producer was selling and we bought it. We have to do some renovations to the saphouse to acomidate the new one. The new to us one is an airtight with preheaters and all the bells and whisels. It should reduce our wood consumption and boil time considerably next year.

Last couple of pics are of the limestone beadrock and seams that the 60A sugarbush is situated on. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
