Maple syrup production has been spotty so far across Wisconsin, mostly due to lingering snow loads and chilly temperatures. But in northeast Wisconsin, Alicia Baroun of Maple Buzz in De Pere says her family has had the best season in over 60 years. She's collected roughly 10,000 gallons of sap from about 1,500 taps compared to roughly 8,000 gallons last year. It hasn't been this way for others in Wisconsin, but the rising temperatures may help, she says.
