why is

[Matt601]

This is why in South MS buddy of mine sent me this waiting to get in the paper mill last Friday. 4 hours in line. They run 2 crane too.















It really amazing how much wood can be turn out in a short time.

Lets all hope whatever mill that is stays in business.

Its a Georgia-Pacific paper plant We have 2 of them in South MS and a Chip mill that is own by them. 
I sell to the chip mill most of the time when there taking pine because its only 5 miles from me and I can run the back roads all the way there. The mill in the Pics is about 30 miles from me the other one is 30 miles to the east of me. If these mills shut down it would be hard on us. Pulpwood would not be worth anything. We have a chip and saw mill that is close by there 4 saw mils with in 30 miles too. The I like GP because they don't cut anyone off when they stop taking wood they shut everyone out. Each week they send out a text telling everyone what there taking hardwood/pine and who can get the loads in win. Last week the chip mill was taking the loads from the trucks to the hopper because they was running 18 hours a day and had run out of there stock pile. the next week they was full and not taking any.

don't know how true it is but heard some mills are getting 1800-2000 for there ash debarked and  stuffed  

9-1200 doyle on average ash, 7' and up down to 8", doesn't take long to slash a load of your in the decent stuff.

That's true but the humidity can't escape from the container, so no cracking or twisting.  I have heard that the nice teak we load in containers arrives in india full with gray mold/must
