USDA to conduct maple syrup inquiry

2 min read

HARRISBURG -- USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct the 2025 Maple Syrup Inquiry in the Northeastern Region. The survey will collect information from approximately 1,800 Northeastern producers. Maple syrup producers, processors and commodity markets rely on the data from this survey to make informed business decisions and help promote the industry.

"The Northeastern Region produced 5.05 million gallons of maple syrup in 2024. Vermont was the top Maple Syrup state with 53% of the United States' maple syrup," according to David Knopf, director of the NASS Northeastern Regional Field Office. In 2024, NASS estimated the total number of taps across the nation at 17.1 million and total production was 5.86 million gallons of maple syrup.

Survey recipients are encouraged to respond securely online at agcounts.usda.gov or by mail or fax. To ensure all participants have an opportunity to respond, NASS interviewers may contact producers who do not respond to arrange an interview to complete the survey.

All information from respondents is kept confidential, as required by federal law, and published so that no operation or producer can be identified.

NASS will publish this data in the Crop Production report on June 12 and the Quick Stats database at quickstats.nass.usda.gov. This report and all other NASS reports are available at nass.usda.gov/Publications. For more information or assistance with the survey, producers can call the NASS Northeastern Field Office at (800) 498-1518.
