Maple Syrup Supply Low

One crucial condiment may soon be missing from your daily stack of good old-fashioned flapjacks. Industry trends suggest that America’s steady supply of maple syrup may soon be nearing its end. Since the production of sap depends so heavily upon very specific climate conditions, the past decade of warming weather and ensuing chemical pollutants and non-native pests has already taken its toll. In fact, evidence indicates that the 65-million-dollar industry will cease to exist within this century. With sap seekers in New Hampshire unable to produce any Grade-A syrup this season, others reporting significantly less sweet syrup, and prices already on the rise, the end may come sooner than expected. Agave anyone?
