<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 21, 2012) The unusually warm weather this March hasn&apos;t been great for sugar makers. Maple syrup yields across northern New York and Vermont have been low, and a lot of producers are pulling their taps. But in spite of the strange temperatures, sugaring traditions remain alive and well. Sarah Harris went to an Adirondack &quot;boil&quot; and sent this audio postcard.

<title>Loans up to $40,000 available for NC maple producers</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19021/20111229/loans-up-to-40-000-available-for-nc-maple-producers</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 29, 2011) Many North Country Maple producers can now tap into a new loan fund to help them increase the amount of syrup they produce. The Development authority of the North Country, or DANC, set up the program after several studies showed most maple trees in the area aren’t being tapped. That means producers are missing out on a lot of potential revenue. Nora Flaherty has the details.

<title>Maple syrup: a mud season harvest</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17309/20110315/maple-syrup-a-mud-season-harvest</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 15, 2011) The pails are up and the sap is flowing.  Weather plays a large part in the making of maple syrup.  Last year’s early spring ended the syrup production season abruptly in some parts of the state.  Entering this year’s maple syrup season, which usually runs from early March to mid-April, maple producers are eager to put last year behind them.  Todd Moe spoke with a couple of syrup producers who say conditions are ideal for the start of the North Country’s sweetest season.
