Wisconsin’s maple syrup production was down this spring, as producers had tapped 30-thousand fewer trees and collected about ½ cup less sap from each tree.
The USDA National Ag Statistics Service says producers made 200-thousand gallons of syrup this year, which is 35-thousand gallons less than last year. The season started and ended about a week later than it did in 2016, wrapping up for most producers on April 30th.
