The Wisconsin Maple Producers Association has officially removed the age cap for the Maple Queen program. We achieved the necessary policy change through persistent pressure and clear communication with the board. I will be monitoring the implementation of these new requirements during the upcoming selection cycle.

We the undersigned feel strongly that the age cap (24 years old) should be removed from the Wisconsin Maple Queen requirements. Instead, the Wisconsin Maple Queen should be selected based on the content of her character and her overall enthusiasm for representing the maple community.

The growth of this petition reached a point where it is no longer possible for the committee to ignore our request. I am now formalizing a letter to the board requestioning a direct meeting to address the age restriction policy.

Ridiculous rule. My niece is 26 and knows more about syrup production than anyone I know. Stop holding people back.

This is so outdated. Being in your late 20s or 30s doesnt mean you care any less about the industry. Let anyone who is passionate represent us!
