High Pressure Boiler Selection for the Production of Maple Products
Maple producers contemplating the use of high pressure steam should carefully plant their steam system with the assistance of qualified persons. Proper boiler selection to meet the system requirements is an important step in the success of any steam system.
Pricing Maple Syrup at the Farm
A guide to determining product pricing and profit of maple syrup production.
Maple Candy and Other Confections
Maple syrup can also be processed into a wide variety of confections including granulated or molded maple sugar, molded soft-sugar candy, maple cream, maple fondant, and “Jack Wax” or “Maple on Snow.” These confections are easy to make, delicious to eat, and make excellent gifts.

Comparing Some Key Attributes of Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharum Marsh) and Black Maple ( Acer Nigrum Michx)
The purpose of this article is to shed some light on important and often observed differences between Sugar Maple and Black Maple, and to discuss the comparative sweetness of their sap.
Limitations in the Use of Ozone to Disinfect Maple Sap
This article reports on experiments to determine the usefulness of ozone as a method of reducing the microbial levels in maple sap.
Long-term calcium addition increases growth release, wound closure, and health of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) trees at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest
We surveyed and wounded forest-grown sugar maple (Acer sacchamm Marsh.) trees in a long-term, replicated Ca manipulation study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA. Plots received applications of Ca (to boost Ca availability above depleted ambient levels) or A1 (to compete with Ca uptake and further reduce Ca availability). We found significantly greater total foliar and membrane-associated Ca in foliage of trees in plots fertilized with Ca when compared with trees from Al-addition and control plots (P = 0.005).
Equating Syrup Price to Sap Price
In fairness to both sap producers and sap purchasers, the price of maple sap should be directly related to the price of maple syrup. This chart helps calcuate that value.
Sugar Maple Tree Improvement Program
Maple producers and rural landowners throughout the maple syrup producing regions of the Northeast have expressed interest in acquiring improved sugar maple seedings for future sap production. A sugar maple tree improvement program for high sap concentration began in the 1960s under the direction of the USDA Forest Service.
