That number would, no doubt, be much higher, if Bascom, in Alstead, reported the actual amount of syrup they continue to boil in their production of granulated maple sugar. The last time I recall hearing Bruce Bascom say how many taps they had out, was on the order of 70,000. A number that seemed to be a universally accepted was a quart per tap, in an average season. That's about 17,500 gallons right there.
