Things are looking bad on selling wood!!! Just spoke with my wood buyer, he is in Michigan in meetings. Mill hasn't run much this month, they are shutting off some of there clean paper chip suppliers. Things look bleak in my eyes. :(

Thats to bad not a good sign for you guys up in the northeast. Saw logs down here are holding steady but everything is quartersawed. So as long as the flooring market holds out we will be ok I suppose.

A pulp wood mill here in southern Ohio has stopped buying and mead has shut the little guy out only allowing them two loads a week and the big guys can haul as much as they want until close of Wednesday. I believe it's hitting all over.

From what I was told , bankruptcy judge has told them to get a hold on spending.

I read it too! I am going onn what wood buyer said. They are shutting down a bunch of the piledown yards and dropping price on the clean chips they are buying. Its a buyers market out there. Looks like they can run most of the summer on what wood they already have in  piledown.

With all due respect mister motohed all of the antiquated paper mills here in eastern Canada have also closed.
