ash for hurling

[rmc]

Its 200 a cubic meter. If you read that article again you will find thats from a man who was stealing them and teling lies to a judge so he could get off. One butt will average 10 planks and sold then for 5 per plank so you do the maths.

175 euros a butt according to the news article. We got £180 a ton for some in 2001 so must be a lot more now

We have been selling at £220.00/M3, the chap goes through loads of chains boring into the ground to get the whole of the butt out.

The last time I got involved with Ash for bats it cost me a fortune, we cleared a woodland full of Ash and were approached by an outfit that wanted the roots and were prepared to pay for them ( not a lot either ) . They wanted a decent bit left out of the ground which made hard work for us to clear up and despite loads of promises they never turned up. In the end I had to return to destump and burn the lot because the customer was getting the hump over the time being taken.
