WELL, INFLATION IS CAUSING KIND OF A STICKY SITUATION FOR SOME MAPLE SYRUP FARMS, THE RISING PRICE OF EQUIPMENT AND FUEL ARE FORCING FARMERS AND PRODUCERS TO PASS THE COSTS ALONG THEIR CUSTOMERS. BOXES. MADISON SCARPINO JOINS US LIVE FROM A MAPLE SYRUP FARM IN MICHIGAN. WHICH IS ONE OF THE NATION’S TOP MAPLE SYRUP PRODUCING STATES. MADISON TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS ONE HIGH HIGH TEMP, SO MAPLE SYRUP TO HAVING SEASON IS ABOUT TO COME TO AN END AND ONLY LAST 4 TO 5 Weeks BECAUSE IT RELIES ON TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE DAY AND BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT.THIS MACHINE BEHIND ME BOILS DOWN THAT SAP TO EVENTUALLY TURN IT INTO DELICIOUS MAPLE SYRUP. BUT THINGS LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE PRICE FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING FROM ABLE PRODUCTION ARE THROUGH THE ROOF, AND IT’S FORCING SOME FARMERS TO RAISE THEIR PRICES. KIRK HEADING LIVES ON A MICHIGAN FAMILY FARM THAT’S BEEN AROUND FOR GENERATIONS. 16 Years AGO, HIS FAMILY REALIZED THEY COULD USE THE TREES ON THEIR PROPERTY FOR SOMETHING SWEET. MY WIFE AND I WERE THE VERY FIRST ONES TO EVER MAKE MAPLE SYRUP ON THE FARM HERE. NOW THE FARM HAS NEARLY 2000 TAPS ON THEIR TREES. THE TOPIC STRUCK SAP, WHICH THEY TURN INTO MAPLE PRODUCTS. THEY CAN Represent SYRUP, BUTTER CANDY, AND IT’S USED FOR COFFEE AND TEA, BAKING GRILLING AND BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU PUT WHITE SUGAR INTO. IT’S HEALTHIER THAN MOST GENERIC SWEETENERS BECAUSE IT’S NOT HIGHLY PROCESSED.AND ACTUALLY HAS SOME GOOD NUTRIENTS IN IT AS WELL AND DEMAND GREW BIG TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN MORE PEOPLE WERE COOKING AT HOME AND EXPERIMENTING WITH OTHER PRODUCTS, THERE WERE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN NATURAL PRODUCTS AND LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCTS. AND SO MAPLE SYRUP YOU KNOW WAS WAS VERY POPULAR ITEM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IN FACT, HEADING, SAYS THE PANDEMIC INCREASE DEMAND BY 20% A Time BUT THE RISING PRICE OF NEARLY EVERYTHING FROM APRIL PRODUCTION FORCED THE FARM TO DO SOMETHING THEY WERE HOPING TO AVOID.WE ACTUALLY HAD TO RAISE OUR PRICES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 10 YEARS. IT’S BEEN A CHALLENGING TIME ECONOMICALLY FOR THE INDUSTRY. THE NORTH AMERICAN MAPLE SYRUP COUNCIL SAYS GETTING SUPPLIES LIKE JUGS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE COST OF EQUIPMENT. BUT THE BIGGEST ISSUE HAS BEEN FUEL PRICES AND WHETHER YOU’RE USING GAS POWERED EQUIPMENT IN IN THE WOODS TO HAVE TREES OR WITH TRUCKS TO DELIVER SAPA WITH TRUCKS TO DELIVER THIS THE FINAL PRODUCT TO CONSUMERS NOW A GALLON OF MAPLE SYRUP FROM THE HEADINGS FARM COST$ 6 MORE THAN I DID A Months before. AND OF COURSE, IT’S A SMALLER FAMILY FARMS THAT ARE GETTING HIT HARDEST AND IN TURN, THEY’RE “re going to have to” R.
