Maple Moving North...

  • In the fall of 2012, the U.S. Forest Service and Cornell University are publicizing the results of a recent study showing that climate change most likely will shorten the maple syrup season and shift syrup production northward by the end of the 21st century. Productions in the sugar maple’s southern habitat will peter out, while the annual maple sugaring season in its central and northern range will arrive sooner and last for fewer days, maple experts warn.

Maple producer information and resources

If you are a maple syrup producer, with 10 taps or 10,000 taps (or even more) then welcome to the producers section of the Lanark and District Maple Syrup Producers Association web site. Whether you are an OMSPA member or not, this website provides information on the latest news and developments, as well as access to our classified section. For those interested in buying or selling maple related items, see our Maple Equipment Classifieds page. For full access to the members section, please consider becoming a full member of our association, go to the Membership Application page for more information.

Producing maple syrup presents a lot of challenges - everything from woodlot management to sap collection, to processing, and to the marketing and sales end of the business – all require the producer to deal with a multitude of decisions that affect the success of the enterprise. There are lots of good sources of information available, such as the North American Maple Syrup Producers Manual and a number of web sites which provide a wealth of information for both the beginning and seasoned producer. We are not attempting to duplicate any of that useful information here; but we will try to point you in the right direction and provide information of some of the new developments that may impact your operation.

Come back and visit this section regularly, as we will be posting new information of interest to all producers on a regular basis. Members should log into the Members Only section to access more detailed information on some of the issues referenced above, and to view more detailed information on OMSPA related events and activities.
