The big sugar maple on the farm is dead, completely, and being processed for firewood. It was absolutely fine last year, but seems to have died over the winter.

I attributed this at first to oversalting, but now the 2 sugar maples in front of my house are dying. The uppermost limbs are bare, and what leaves there are are turning brown around the edges.

The Norway maples are doing just fine, and there seems to be no evidence of disease on the sugars.

What's going on? anyone know how to save them? it doesn't seem to be insects, there's no tree fungus on em but no birds or squirrels seem to go near them, which to my mind seems to indicate some kind of chemical problem.

they're the ones you get syrup from. Well kinda, first you have to reduce the sap 50>1.

We had a couple sugar maples die on us, too. We have our trees sprayed for worms, but one of them died due to a high water table. We re surfaced a paddock with stone dust, which also raised it 6" or so, enough to make the water find lower ground, by the tree.
