May 5, 2021   The New York State Senate and Assembly unanimously passed legislation re: the production, sale, branding, and labeling of birch syrup and birch sugar (read more about this legislation at Morning Ag Clips, 05/04/21). The NNYADP funded a 2018 season comparison of birch and maple sap yields per the timing of tapping schedules for birch syrup production at the Uihlein Maple Research Forest in Lake Placid. To read the results, see the final report at https://nnyagdev.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/NNYADP19Maple2018Final-18.pdf.
