Weather may play havoc
with maple syrup crop
by Gregor Campbell
The unseasonably
balmy weather
we've been having
in the middle of this win-
ter may play havoc with
this spring's maple syrup
crop around here.
"Some of the sap is
already gone, we've lost
some of it," says Barb
Storey of RR I Seaforth,
who adds sales of last
year's syrup are booming
because people are afraid
this year's crop won't be
anything to write home
about.
The devastating ice
storm Quebec experi-
enced recently may also
he affecting this season's
demand here. That
province was the number
one maple syrup producer
in the world, but it may
take I() to 12 years to
replace the trees that were
damaged with the ice there
and bring them hack on
line for maple syrup pro-
duction.

Remember: Quality Is Not
Expensive, It's Priceless!
Barb and Ray Storey
tap about 900 trees in
McKillop Township.
The quality- of this
year's crop remains a
question mark. They have
their fingers crossed, and
their eyes on the forecast.
The gallon of sap the
Storeys tested recently
had a sugar content of four
and -one-half per cent,
which they say is okay.
"The higher the better,"
Barb says.
They haven't fired up
the shack and started lo
make syrup yet. and hope
to get at it. as usual. by the
end of this month.
You need warm sunny
days and frosty nights tier
the hest quality crop. the
Storeys say.
It takes about 40 gal-
lons of sap to produce one
gallon of syrup.
