Not So Sweet: Illinois Maple Syrup Producers Grapple with Climate Change
Показать описание
Members of the Funk Family have been boiling sap into maple syrup since 1824, when Isaac Funk settled in Funks Grove, located about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.
Four Funk generations later, Mike Funk runs Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup and averages about 2,000 gallons of maple syrup during good seasons.
Mike plans to leave the family business to his son Jonathan, but erratic weather spurred by climate change has made tapping for maple syrup more difficult in recent years.
