A new day @MSUAgBio forestry in the UP. Over 1000 gallons of maple syrup produced so far in 2024 in support of @usda funded Acer research and outreach! #maple
New CWD map. We hate new CWD maps. Welcome to the club, Jones and Howard Counties. The good news is prevalence is still low statewide and hunters and landowners can help slow the spread! 🔗naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/wildlife/cwd
Happy National Maple Syrup Day! Though it might not yet be time for tapping the in U.P., we can celebrate that delicious elixir any day. Bring out the lumberjack breakfast!
Good morning from the @MSUAgBio forestry center in the Upper Peninsula! Today we host the MI Maple Association's fall tour. #msu #spartans #maple #yoopergold
.@MIAttyGen @dananessel toured the @MichiganStateU Forestry Innovation Center in Escanaba this afternoon to learn about their research to find safer, more sustainable means of cultivating & harvesting agricultural products for energy & consumption across the world.
This 7 day weather is not good for the 2023 syrup season in the UP! We need freezing nights and day time temps in the upper 30s to low 40s. Looks like the end of the season sap trials begin.
So far in the spring 23 syrup season the @MSUAgBio forestry innovation cemter in the UP has handled 22k gallons of raw sap as part of 4 @usda grants. late night hauling and running sap thru a Reverse Osmosis unit to remove water #maplesyrup #yoopergold #msue2023 #spartan
Good morning from the @MSUAgBio forestry center in the UP. Spring is syrup season and the #spartan300 is tapped! The #spartan3000 tapping starts today.
Just updated the Chronic Wasting Disease map on our website. Never fun. Learn more and stay engaged in efforts to the slow the spread on this challenging disease: naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/wildlife/cwd
This morning @MSUAgBio Forestry Innovation Center near Escanaba in the UP. Perfect msple syrup weather, low temps in the mid 20s and high temps upper 30s low 40s all week.
There is a tradeoff with fast growing trees for biomass that are a few years past their normal rotation age. Courtesy of a severe icestorm in the UP. @MSUAgBio Forestry innovation center took a direct hit. Should be a fun summer of cleanup!
This beech tree failed and took out our wet/dry maple mainline system because of beech bark disease. The loss of beech in our woods means one less mast crop for our squirrels, birds, deer, bear etc. And an overall decline in tree species diversity!
It only takes a few squirrels to ruin a maple producer's day! Squirrel damage is a major reason tubing system vacuum drops. Loss of vacuum = loss of sap production. @MSUAgBio @MSUForestry #squirreldamage
Proper forest management allowing sugar maple trees to grow a large canopy of leaves = faster taphole closure rates. This photo shows a 1 year wound closure! @MSUAgBio @yooperforestry @maplesyrup @forestservice @USDA
A properly installed tap should not crack the wood and bark above and below the taphole. This annual wound in the tree will yield 10 to 15 gallons of sap per season making over a quart of finished maple syrup! @MSUAgBio @maplesyrup @yooperforestry
Tapping day at the @MSUAgBio forestry station in the UP. Part of a multi year grant from @USDA to improve knowledge of maple tubing biofilms and sanitizers with our partners from @montanastate.
