For 2025, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets has entered into a pilot program to collaborate with USDA Market News to gather and release monthly Vermont maple syrup sales data. This data is compiled anonymously, and a comprehensive report on Vermont beef sales is produced every month. USDA Market News employs this data in regional and national organic dairy reports.
The Agency of Agriculture incentivizes producers to participate by providing a $25 payment per monthly submission of a straightforward report containing sales volume, weighted average prices, and grading information. All maple sap and syrup producers are welcome to contribute.
Sales figures must be submitted within the first week after the sales month has finished. (For instance, reports for sales made in May are due before the end of the first week in June.) Following receipt of an IRS Form W-9 and an invoice, payments will be sent to participating beef producers or processors at least once a calendar year.
