I'm wondering the same question. How much are circa 150 poplars at 2 tons per tree possible more worth for chip? So 300 tones.

I'm starting to see farmers using wood chip for winter bedding. Makes sense when you consider straw is £110 p/t.

So its not just biomass thats killing the firewood market.

Also, I find it interesting that the same issues that are affecting other parts of the country are beginning to affect Scotland. I thought there was an abundance to timber up there.

some mills will buy pop saw logs that you would get a better price for as compared to chip wood at £56 per tonne, no abundance of timber any where in the UK otherwise we would not be importing it from Scandinavia and Canada,

average price for s/w road side today chip/firewood £56 tonne fresh felled in the northwest, if you think you can get it for £35 a tonne go for it as that is cheap and if its been down 12 months you will never get a 25 tonne load if you paid £50 a tonne it would still be cheap as you would have a full wagon load but not full weight, wagon below full to top of pins but only 19.8 tonne at £1250 plus haulage a load, which equates to approx £72 tonne ,cut it split it sell it all in same day so no waiting to get your money back ,
