price of syrup fluctuates more than many other farm products.
it is very dependent on weather & there are no price supports
(like milk, for example).
also, equipment costs are skyrocketing as a couple
manufacturers have stopped making boilers/arches, etc. demand
is higher for the remaining makers, so prices rise. that has
to be figured into the production costs as well.
