STRAFFORD, N.H. - Maple syrup lovers may be hit with sticker shock in New Hampshire.

The state Agriculture Department says syrup is selling for $45 a gallon, an all-time high. The price has been pushed up by dramatic hikes in fuel costs and supplies.

The New Hampshire Maple Producers Association says the price per gallon was $39 last year and $38.20 per gallon in 2006.

Maine syrup producers have said they too expect syrup prices to be high. Maine, which is the No. 2 syrup-producing state behind Vermont, last year produced 225,000 gallons.
