Brian, don't think it'll hurt the firewood business much. Hasn't seemed to affect it much here in MI. Most people that buy wood either don't have the know how to cut their own wood, a wood hauler or trailer to move it with, and most people are simply too lazy or just don't want to cut wood. When I cut roadsides at work we are cutting all sorts of species. We'll chip the top and limbs, and leave the firewood sized stuff. I can't tell people they can have the wood, and I can't tell them they can't have it if they drive by and ask about it. To encourage it to disappear so I don't have to mow around it, we usually chunk it up into 3-4' pieces. It used to be gone in a day or 2, definitely less than a week. Now it just lays there and rots away. Mostly state land where I work now, so not really around a bunch of houses or anything either. Sometimes I'll conduct an experiment which proves my point to myself. If I take a straight dead ash tree about a foot in diameter, and cut half of it into the 3-4' pieces, and then cut the other half into 16" pieces, the 16" pieces will almost always disappear shortly, while the longer pieces continue to lay there until they rot away. And there is a lot of people around here that burn wood, myself included. We are not allowed to touch the wood from the trees we cut off the right of way.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. 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
