I've gotten as high as 26 cents per gallon on my best sap runs. It all depends on the sugar content. The last season, with all the excess sap I trucked, I averaged 23 cents per gallon. Once it got down to 1.9% sugar, I stopped trucking it. It wasn't worth the bother to make a 30 mile round trip across the mountain to deliver it. I've had it as high as 2.8 %. If you are going to truck syrup, I suggest you buy or borrow a sugar fractometer so you can measure sugar-content yourself. I've seen some buyers cheat when they know the seller can't check.
Here's what I sold last season:
1st - Feb 22 - 417 gallons as 2.4% sugar content 2nd - Feb 25 - 447 gallons at 2.5% sugar content 3rd - Feb 26 - 442 gallons at 2.6% sugar content 4th - Feb 27 - 417 gallons at 2.4% sugar content 5th - March 3 - 448 gallons at 2.4% sugar content. 6th - March 4 - 232 gallons at 2.3% sugar content 7th - March 7 - 320 gallons at 2.5% sugar content 8th - March 8 - 465 gallons at 2.3% sugar content 9th - March 9 - 470 gallons at 2.1% sugar content 10th - March 14 - 446 gallons at 2.2% sugar content 11th - March 21 - 444 gallons at 1.9% sugar content
Total - 4,548 gallons at $1,050. 23 cents per gallon with average sugar - 2.3%
Canada requires 66% sugar content for syrup. By Canada and Vermont "fancy" standards . . .
Sap with 2.5% sugar - 27 gallons can make 1 gallon of syrup.
Sap with 1.9% sugar - 35 gallons can make 1 gallon of syrup
Sap with 1.5% sugar - 44 gallons can make 1 gallon of syrup

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
