Price of hardwood pulp or fire wood in your area?

Here when the markets and mills were going down starting in 2005-2006, the Banks said they would be a little forgiving on the loans. My mother said when farmers were struggling in bad years the Banks never gave anyone a break. Some banks folks dealt with wouldn't finance operating loans, no reason given, bills paid up, just closed the door.  Some banks lost business and had to close up shop, so I think they learned to tread a little more lightly in tough times. Besides if they foreclosed, they would never be able to sell all the farms. Whose got $2M in their back pocket?

Can't easily pigeon-hole all "Banks" with a broad brush, as Banks are as different as people are different. 

What they do, and don't do, vary's broadly with their management and Board of Directors.
Fortunately we have an Independent Community Bank locally that can't be cast in the negative as many of the larger, chain Banks. And then there are the Credit Unions, that want to be Banks (they are similar, except they don't pay taxes).

In this case, yes I can. I'm not talking about banks that obviously are not in this country or area. Predominantly we have two, Scotia and Montreal everyone one else is irrelevant to the story. :D :D We have RBC and TD, but they are not in every town like the previous two.  In fact they only have 1 bank each in 100 miles of here. The first two have closed up a few shops in the last 10 years. ;) TD moved in the area as the first two closed some shops and the Credit Union expanded into our town to replace Scotia. Scotia in town got so darn impossible, they only wanted to handle seniors accounts and quit commercial or business accounts. Turned down folks that had good business for 30 + years. Weird bunch. Montreal in Hartland started the same approach and closed up shop to. I don't bank with the first two mentioned here, I can't stand them. But I do have joint account with Scotia and they refused to take my payroll deductions one day. Still can't figure that one, afterwards I got stewing and was going to call Toronto, but went down to TD paid it with no questions asked and the blood pressure returned to normal. :D They have to take payroll deductions by law if you have an account with them according to Revenue Canada. Maybe they had a lot of fraudulent payments I don't know. But it would be impossible to get away with it because the Bank has your information. Although, the Bank is on the hook for those deductions if the cheque bounces. I just mail the darn cheques now, heck with it.

Middle TN.  $19/ton hardwood or $15/ton softwood, delivered to mill.  Firewood starts at $40 a "rick" on up to maybe $65 but everyones rick is different. Id say its $80/cd.

I'm getting around $100/cd deliverd to the pulp mill, or log length firewood. Pulp markets are flooded with inventory, without much end in sight at the moment. Have been dealing with low quotas since last summer.

Thanks.  I have a guy buying hard/soft slabwood from me by the cord and he said he wants to pay me pulp price and he claimed pulp was paying $67/cord.  Well I talked with my friend and he gave me a per ton number and said that the conversion rate they gave him was 2.7 ton per cord or vice versa and he figured it as getting around $105/cord. 

[SwampDonkey]

The conversion sounds reasonable, in line with what we have used at our marketing boards and hardwood pulp buyers for years.

Hardwood is falling some more.  We dropped our 12" top tree length to $65/ton delivered.  Down $10 in last 3 months.  We pay $24/ton for pulp on the yard.
