Geography: maple syrup production
Tutoring geography, agriculture is topical. The tutor brings up maple syrup production by region.
Of course my kids have this Friday off, so I made them (and myself) pancakes for breakfast. While they actually prefer plain syrup, I like maple syrup on mine.
Which provinces (or states) are notable producers of maple syrup?
- Quebec leads (perhaps no surprise): 7,989,000 gallons.
- Vermont is next, at about 11% of Quebec’s output.
- Ontario comes next, at about 5% of Quebec’s output.
- The states of New York and Maine come next, at about 4% each of Quebec.
- New Brunswick is next, at 3.8% of Quebec.
- Six US states come next.
- Nova Scotia follows, at about 0.3% of Quebec.
Interesting, eh?
