Drums eastern most boundary is about 10 miles from my farm. I don't what "shortage" of firewood they are talking about. There are triaxle loads going by my house a couple times a week making local deliveries. The guy down the road with the big processor has a large stack waiting to cut and it never gets smaller. I think maybe the "shortage" might be more wishful thinking than real. I'm told Drum gets somewhere between 60 and 70 loads of chips a day. Now, those figures are from the same people that tell me that we have "wolves" here and that mountain lions are common. With that in mind, I'd take the number with a large grain of salt. At any rate, whole tree processing has been going on for years in northern NY. The days of a crew of loggers going out on foot with chainsaws? That pretty much ended about 15 years ago. I was all set to retire and go to work for the biggest logging outfit in the area wrenching on their saws. My plans fizzled when the insurance costs made having a man with a saw impossible. Everything is done with a hydro ax type skidder or forwarder and a grinder. No one sets foot on the ground anymore I'm told.
Anyway, I'm glad the loggers are getting steady work.
