You seem to be finding different kinds of ''farming''.....enjoy the variety of people who tap into nature in one way or another.

Absolutely! I’m so glad you are enjoying them! I love seeing how many different ways people are growing or raising or, in this case, collecting so many kinds of food!

Our planet is constantly changing, yes Midwest weather also has changed. In the 1960s winter was just that record snow fall and record cold, January 32 days or more that the temperature was below freezing 🤕

February of 2015 in upstate NY was the coldest on record. Get ready it will happen again one of these winters

I am truly impressed by this guy and his set up. What might be labour intensive is made so much simpler and production is at a maximum capacity while not destroying the environment. One question i have tho is. Do wild animals ever get entangled in the plastic pipes out in the trees? And if so how to they monitor and fix it?

@BreakingNewRoots 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely!!! And he said sometimes there is a bear or deer that trips the line or gets into it a little bit but it’s mostly squirrels. And this is where the technology is amazing! His sensors will tell him when and where there is a line down or open. He said before he would have to walk the whole thing just to check on it but now he is notified when there is an issue.

@RiverhillMaple 3 ай бұрын

I can answer your question, as for getting entangled into it no, the lines are ran on a single wire like an electric fence wire. Our biggest issue with wild life is them chewing holes into the plastic tubing. Most times if an animal runs into it it’ll break and fall. Most of us are using wireless monitor systems that will tell us if the line has a leak and we can go fix it.

@@colkur5007 quality, and consistency is the goal. If more producers produce a consistent, quality product. It may change the way people view and feel about real maple syrup. So much of our society has adapted highly processed foods, and it’s not great for the health of anyone. Natural and sustainable food sources are where we need to be for both human health and environmental health.

Wow no wonder real syrup is so much more.

@BreakingNewRoots 3 ай бұрын

Right?!?! There is so much to it but really taste just pays for itself anyway! So much better than corn syrup!! 🥰

I have sugared on 11 different farms. Listening to how sugaring is done today, with blue tooth and all I find depressing. I have hauled sap by yokes and sap buckets, then using my team of oxen. I hauled with a single ox one year. Several years we hauled our sap with horses. I have always resisted the use of tubing. I was born in 1951.

I completely understand! I think there is a place for advanced technology but also, there is still room for the way we used to or always have done things!
