Ed Jillson plows a pumpkin field on his farm in Sabattus on Sunday. “This is the season of hope because we hope that everything goes well,” said the 69-year-old farmer. The warm spring has been great for getting onto the fields but was bad for the maple syrup season, said Jillson. The nights were too warm and, as a result, Jillson only made 150 gallons of syrup, down from 320 gallons last year. “There is an old farmer’s tale that whatever you do during maple season will follow you through the rest of the year,” said Jillson. “Lets hope that is not the case this year,” said Jillson.
