Not a terrible price considering its free shipping if your buying just one roll.
Bascom in NH (an hour from where I lived last year) is $93 per roll $73ish shipping, and shipping on 4 is $147
I ordered from a place that sent 4 rolls to MO for $21 shipping. I may have to try that again. I was hoping to get them faster. Almost too late for the season.

Any species of maple will make syrup. Just Sugar/Hard Maple typically has a higher sugar content in the sap.

4,000’ of tubing is a lot to ship. Hopefully the link @William1 can work.

CDL is marching across the country putting the small maple suppliers out of business.
It looks like the Minnesota dealers are the closest to you. CDL is the only one o know of that offer 1000' rolls of 3/16" tubing.
3/16" works best for steep slope tapping.
If you don't have steep slopes then 5/16" works just as well.

Unless they’re planted, they aren’t sugar maples in MO.

In Alaska they make birch syrup. I tried it but it was a little bit bitter for my taste.

I made birch when I lived in NH. I'll miss making it even though it took 110 gal to make one gal of syrup. Plus, you cant boil it at a high temp. It took me as long to make one gallon of birch as it did to make 15 of maple.

Birch is an ingredient. Not so much a sweetener. Think teriyaki. Its good on any meat; burgers, pork, BACON, salmon.

I just got done boiling a sample of Sycamore syrup. Like maple, but a little different.

I got a few Black Walnuts tapped. Really want to try that too
