 THE COST OF GROWING THE CROP AND MAX ING SYRUP ON 450-CALLON BASIS PER ACRE USUALLY COMES BETWEEN TWENTY AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER GALLON PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE, OWING TO THE INCREASED COST OF CONTAINERS"
 With syrup selling at from $1 .00 $1.15 per gallon it s easy to compute your profit per each year.
