Friend rang me today with a happy new year and asked how sales were .. I said not very good and he wasn't surprised as a neighbour had a load of oil delivered for 30p a litre. No wonder it's not shifting. This is the 2nd year when cord price are high yet the market is full of cheap firewood ..how can merchants keep going..A friend of mine who installed a kiln hasn't sold much and in fact he is letting us dry our kindling in it just to keep his rhi payments coming in.

I was thinking this game would have 15 years left in it but not sure now.

Softwood cord price still high due to biomass but hardwood hasn't dropped yet costs still up?

They can afford to Jon. We have to fell and then only get our money selling it as final product of logs. Market swamped with cheap im ports and cheap logs having to compete with cheap oil and gas prices. Where do we all go from here?
