I would assume that it's a similar situation where you are compared to here in eastern nova scotia... in that for a LONG time, firewood was simply a cast off product of the pulp business. Then the pulp mills built large plants to burn hog fuel, and now larger plants to burn chips to generate electricity and steam for their plants... and those plants are vacuuming up any amount of crap wood, hardwood and anything else that will burn to keep them going. Firewood had been so cheap for so long that nobody in their right mind would make a business of selling firewood because the pulp contractors were dumping small hardwood at cost to be rid of it. Times have changed. Now that the mill wants the 'biomass' they've enacted supply agreements on the contractors that state that they are obligated to sell all of their production to that one mill... or none... or take a reduced price for what they sell if they won't sign the agreement... so now everything goes to the mill. Now the firewood suppliers that lived for years on cheap wood have NO wood... and well.. you gonna go cold this year... or buy electricity. So in the short term I really see the price of firewood rising and then the few of us that are left who won't sign the supply agreement... might make some money selling firewood again.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
