Maple Syrup
(Program Close) Broadcast 09/30/01 In the scenic valley of the Smith Wildlife Area just south of Algona, maple syrup has been produced for over half a century, ever since Slim Smith began tapping the maple trees. The sap is cooked and nearly all of the water is boiled away. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make just one gallon of syrup. Today, the tradition of making maple syrup is carried on by the Kossuth County Conservation Board with the help of volunteers and school groups from the community. This close depicts the picturesque landscape and visually takes viewers through the process of making maple syrup.
