The reddit thread on this is full of people talking about this being the best year they've ever had, so.... maybe not as great a system as they're selling it to be?

The maple syrup supply is a fraud set by the syrup foundation.

The stockpile and intentionally limit supply to drive prices.

I wouldnt be surprised if the "winter that wasnt" is just an excuse to raise price and they have heaps

My friend has a little 300-tree operation. He says it's the best year he's ever had.
