Maple Syrup Industry Woes

By Shay Zeller on Tuesday, February 7, 2006.

To tap or not to tap, that is the quandry. Maple sugar producers are facing lower output because of the region's increasingly warm winters. Sugar producer and president of The New Hampshire Maple Sugar Producers Bill Eva and natural resources professor Barry Rock of the University of New Hampshire will provide a look at the sugar industry's dilemma.

We'll also talk with chief meteorologist Tim Markle of the Mt. Washington Observatory about the effects and rarity of rain on Mt. Washington, in February.
