One thought I had was that certainly in England, the local authorities make it quite hard for firewood producers to work fully within the constraints of planning. It's classed as an industrial process, planning has to be obtained, and then in more often than not rejected on account of all of the locals objecting (often the very same people that buy the logs - I know of a local example that exactly fits this description).

 

If the government is committed to ensuring high quality firewood reaching market, it needs to assist firewood producers in professionalising their operations, including polytunnels and well ventilated barns for drying. Otherwise, it's just going to be builders bags with tarps over the top, which are a real struggle when trying to achieve 20% MC or less. At this time of the year, such a MC is actually impossible under those circumstances.

Sorry, I must be thick, but I can't see the punch line in this joke.
