brewcrew Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I saw an Amish farm with plastic bags hanging on the trees. That’s a different method of collecting than I’ve seen before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan No Till Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Guy with the sap running over, has the blue plastic bags. Old style metal pails and the plastic 5 gallon buckets. First time I've seen the 5 gallon buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TractormanMike.mb Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Guys around me have had buckets out for a week. Some of the higher volume guys that have tubes in the woods have been collecting longer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
