Middle aged man driving John Deere tractor pulling wheeled cart with tank on back. Snow on ground, bare trees in background, some with sap buckets hanging from them.

Information |
This photograph appeared in the "Bennington Banner" newspaper April 2, 1960. In 1960 modern tubing was available for maple operations, but Frazier still used wood buckets, covers, gathering tanks, and storage tanks, since he believed the containers influenced the flavor of the final product. He did upgrade to a tractor rather than a horse or ox to pull his tanks. |
