Success StoryState-Wide Maple Syrup Production



State-Wide Maple Syrup Production

Author: Jeremy Williams

Planning Unit: Harlan County CES

Major Program: Forest Education: Health, Management, and Utilization

Plan of Work: Improve and sustain agriculture production

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Agriculture and Natural Resources Agents in Harlan and Letcher Counties, have worked with specialists with the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources and the Kentucky Maple Syrup Association to provide research based information to producers across the Commonwealth.  In 2021, the group provided both virtual and in-person programs.  The two-part virtual program centered on basics of maple syrup production and an advanced option to boost production.  An in-person tour was held at a maple producer’s farm that gave an idea of the advanced production options available in the industry.  The last portion of the series, the Kentucky Maple Syrup School, highlighted each of the previous programs.  The programs yielded over 120 registered people that were interested in the maple industry.
