Maple Sap & Syrup Producer Survey open through Feb

Maple Sap Business Promotion — UVM Extension Maple Business is developing financial tools and technical guidance to help folks make decisions about maple sap business ventures, and conducting a sap/syrup producer survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SapProducerSurvey2022 to gather in-depth information on sap business economic activity across the maple region.

It is hoped that the information gained from the study will help maple sap producers understand and learn more about production practices, costs and markets to enhance business opportunities. Production, marketing, business practices and peoples’ interest in the project and resources are at the heart of this survey. Our goal is to reach as many regional sugarmakers and sap producers as we can over the next month. The results of this survey will be published by UVM Extension, shared in industry publications and discussed at maple conferences beginning in 2023.

The survey can also be found on the maplemanager.org website (if you are a new visitor to the site you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to access the calculators and resources, and get to the survey.)
