Will maple syrup always be available for breakfast? A collision of forces have brought the billion-plus dollar industry to an uncertain moment.

    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.

      Big maple is lying to us!
