Harvest Weight Tally Sheet
Turn a season of odd handfuls and full trugs into one running total per crop, so next year's planting is decided by what the plot produced rather than by memory.

What this sheet is for
Keep track of every taphole so next year's go into fresh wood, and see what each season made. The daily log ties each run of sap to the readings on your own thermometer.
Who it is for
Hobby syrup makers, smallholders and woodland owners tapping maples or other sap trees.
How to use it
- Measure each trunk at the height your guide gives and write it down with the date.
- Take the number of taps from your guide and record where each hole goes, beside last year's.
- Fill in a line for each collection: your temperature readings, trees running, sap collected and how it was stored.
- Record when it was boiled and how much syrup it made.
- Total the season and note when the spouts came out.

Page 1
Printed under the title: Each tapped tree with its trunk measured and its tapholes placed, then a daily log of the run: your own readings, the sap collected, when it was boiled and the syrup made.
Your guide's figures, your trees' record. How many taps a trunk of a given size can take, how far to keep from old holes and how long sap keeps are in your extension or producers' guide; no figure is printed here. Record where every hole went so next year's avoid them, keep sap cold and covered, and boil it soon.

Questions
How many taps can a tree take?
The sheet does not say, because the guidance depends on trunk size, tree health and the guide you follow. Take the figure from your extension or producers' guide, and record the trunk measurement so the decision can be checked later.
Why record last year's holes?
Wood around an old taphole no longer gives sap well, so guides tell you to keep new holes away from it. Writing each hole's side and height every year lets next season's tapping avoid them.
