Maple Syrup
There are not a lot of maple trees in Northeast Iowa, however it was fun for my Nephew to harvest the sap and make some syrup.  These pictures were recently sent to me with a request that I publish a post on how Iowa Tractor Boys are able to produce much of what they enjoy in life.  The pictures tell the story.

Actually, there are a number of maple trees harvested each spring in NE Iowa. Another way of income. One east of Garnavillo and another by Castilla, near Postville. They all serve pancake breakfasts with their syrup and some give horse/cart rides through the wood to see the tapped maple trees. Usually that happens in March.
