£50 where? Stump, roadside, dockside, delivered? I bet the forestry sector
goes down the pub as well
I presumed roadside, my forestry sector source is noted for not going down
the pub. I shall make a point of looking out for someone to ask. The
woodland's owner is a local estate for whom we occasionally work but I dunno
that the Agent does much beyond getting Tilhill to take on the whole job.
I would've been surprised if the French would pay that much for firewood; I
mean they've got to split it,dry it (my observations of French firewood while
limited suggest they don't tolerate unseasoned) and deliver it, if we assume
200 euros per tonne delivered to Pascal's door, I wouldn't have thought it
was worth the effort....
But I dunno. Obviously selling firewood that you've scavenged from tree
surgery operations is a different kettle of poisson from actually growing it
but I'm well out of touch with the timber market, it just struck me that
exporting the stuff to France was counterintuitive. And wondered what anyone
else thought?
Bill.
