Hi Chris

SYP Pulp in this area is going for $27.10/ton
Chip n saw SYP around $32.00/ton
tree length posts SYP $40.00/ton

Those are all mill prices

a friend of mine has an export yard about 5 miles from me.  he is currently shipping about 40 containers of SYP and poplar a week.  He has the capacity to do a much larger volume if needed
