EcoWatch: Warm and irregular weather in the heart of sugar maple country is destroying the flavor of maple syrup, and its cutting down on yields--two years ago, production dropped dramatically due to a warmer year, and this year, farmers are resorting to using vacuum tubing to suck sap out of the trees in order to access every last drop.
