Kent:

Right now $65.00/cord of fir is pretty good. Ifn your woodlot was more spruce and pine, then you could expect probably btween $85.00 to $95.00/cord. Unfortunately, I am in the same situation, most of my softwood is about 50% fir and the rest a mix of spruce3 and pine, with the pine being less than 20%.

As for the hardwood - especially maple, I would expect much more than $25.00/cord. Unless he is selling to the mills for either chips (which is a total waste of this resource and he should re-evaluate), then the $25.00/cord would be ok for chips, but should be around $40.00/cord for veneer.

Also, you may want to consider contacting local firewood contractors and see what they are paying for tree length hardwood. The round rate has increased to almost $125.00/cord and $150.00 to $175.00/cord split. There seems to be a dearth of hardwood the last couple of years.

This also depends on which Marketing board you are with.

Here in the Dieppe area, the SENB is a little more tight than the Sussex area board and maybe around Fredricton and such.

Hope this helps a bit.
