Quebec taps record amount of maple syrup

Quebec harvested a record amount of maple syrup this spring.
The 13,700 syrup producers in the province collected 152.2 million pounds of syrup. Last year, they harvested 148 million pounds — and that was a record-breaker, too. In 2013, they collected 120 million pounds.
The sugar season started early in 2017. It was launched in February but then, after several weeks of cold, there was a new surge in March. In eastern parts of the province, the season lasted until early May.
