- wk_end 3y agoIt is entirely possible that for that particular sugar shack they had an unusually long and productive season with it still being an unusually short and unproductive season in general.
- morkalork 3y agoThe timing was off this year with the unusually mild winter, the sap started to run weeks earlier than usual. Its entirely possible that a small time sugar shack would be on the ball and tap their trees early where as a corporate producer might miss the peak.
- bethekind 3y agoCorporate entities, which followed the calendar instead of listening to the trees probably didn't do well this reason Multiple people on Reddit said the same thing, that this year was one of the best for small time shops. I think this article is part FOMO, part "oh no feel bad for us" by big companies.
- dmix 3y ago> part "oh no feel bad for us" by big companies. It's about the reserves, so it's literally just a small cartel consisting of a few big companies that limit the ability of smaller producers to compete, so yeah.
- sp332 3y agoThe warm weather threatened to cut things short, but then it got cold again and it looks like this season will be good after all.
