The nation had a sweet maple season this year, producing more than 5 million gallons of maple syrup, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Vermont — the country’s top maple producer — yielded a record 2.5 million gallons, an increase of 800,000 gallons from 2021.

“This year’s record level of maple production is good news for our sugar makers and our economy,” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said.

The other top producing states were New York with 845,000 gallons, followed by Maine with 672,000 gallons, the USDA said.

Last year the retail price of syrup varied among the maple-producing states, from $65.50 per gallon in New Hampshire to $41.30 per gallon in Pennsylvania, according to the USDA.

Vermont’s record production was helped by the addition of more taps and a longer season.

It’s a tragedy that only the rich can afford to buy it.

Good news indeed. Finally an article from the Ass Press that isn’t biased or even hateful against normal American values.

The US north had an almost perfect springtime year, staying cool for a longer stretch.

Who wants a GALLON of maple syrup? Buy it in a pint and do not eat pancakes every day.

I’ve always wondered what true maple syrup shelf life is ?
Refridge or at room temp ?
Can they hold onto the stock for years or a shortage ?

[fhayek]

Refrigerate. Eventually mold will grow on top. Skim off, and boil. Good to go.

I have a full field of Waffle Vines planted...

Now is the time to fill our maple syrup strategic reserve. Well, OK, we don't have one, but Canada has.

Keep your butter beans in the shade until almost ripe.

This is why they elect saps to the Senate.

Always refrigerate your real maple syrup or it will get moldy

Thanks for the tip. Heh.

Quebecers, who also produce 11 million gallons per year.

Too late: I’m already addicted.

Pancakes should be sold and cooked on a roll!
