Maple syrup producers report good year due to long winter

With one of the long, cold winters and late springs that northern Michigan is famous for, another thing the region is famous for--maple syrup--thrived this year.

Excerpt: It has been a good year for maple syrup in Michigan. Farms produced twice the amount of syrup as they did last year, thanks to prime weather conditions that extended the tree-tapping season into April.

Syrup production ended in the Lower Peninsula in early April, and the Upper Peninsula continued production until the end of April.
