    Sweet News for Maple Syrup

    We conducted a web search for “Global Warming and Maple Syrup” and found over 150,000 sites – almost all proclaim that the maple syrup industry is in deep peril given the threat of global warming. This must surely be seen as bad news for all those who enjoy maple syrup on waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, crumpets, and French toast (and in any number of desserts as well). Before you think this threat is less than serious, be aware that maple syrup is big business in New England and in Canada.
    But, as with most things you read about on the majority of websites, the fate of maple syrup turns out to be not nearly as bad as portrayed. In fact, the future may be even better for maple syrup production than the past.

    USDA awards state nearly $2 million for forestry preservation, protection programs

    Governor M. Jodi Rell today announced that the state has received a $1.97 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fund numerous programs throughout the state to protect forests on state, municipal, and private lands. “Not only are our forests an essential part of our state’s heritage, they are also crucial to the environmental and economic health of Connecticut,” the Governor said. More than 60 percent of Connecticut is covered in forests – about 1.8 million acres. The 107 state parks and 32 state forests are some of the most popular recreation destinations the state has to offer and the half-billion-dollar forest products industry, including lumber and maple syrup, generates thousands of jobs.”

    Truth in advertising, Vermont officials target new syrup product

    Officials at the Agency of Agriculture say they’re worried about fake maple syrup masquerading as the real thing. About a month ago, jugs of Log Cabin’s “All Natural Syrup” began showing up in grocery store aisles alongside containers of the real stuff. The product’s jug containers, according to agency officials, are virtually indistinguishable from those favored by Vermont maple producers. And the “all-natural” labeling, says chief of consumer protection Henry Marcqres, might confuse shoppers into thinking they’re getting a sweet deal on the real thing.
