No such thing as grapple wood here, when the trees are cut they are already sold to the mill, best you can get is to cut the tops.

Are the prices given in that article accurate? $400 a cord? That's insane. I get a dump trailer load delivered to my house already cut and split for $100. It's about one wheelbarrow load short of a full cord.

here in southern Ontario the going rate is about 70 bucks a face cord (3 of them to a full cord) so 210 a cord plus delivery and most guys say a 3 cord min for that price

Local logger around me is selling grapple loads for 125 a cord. Cut, split, delivered prices are all over the place, low of 200/cord to 395 for "seasoned" wich is still in log length.

Funny story that highlights how different regions have different prices for firewood. When I was in college I had a roommate that would cut firewood on weekends. He lived about 1 hour away from were we went to school. Our college landlord lived in the house beside us and my roommate noticed that he had a wood stove as a secondary heat source. He asked our landlord if he would be interested in trading firewood for rent, and he quoted the landlord a price of $100 a cord. The landlord said he would take as much firewood as he could bring and to just dump it in the back yard.
So after bringing trailer load after trailer load my roommate asks me " I have brought this guy about 8 cords of wood, why does he want so much, and where is he putting it, It keeps disappearing and I can barely keep up?" My response was didn't you see the sign in his front yard that says "Fire Wood in back yard - $200 a cord- you load yourself"?

Price is 100.00 a cord delivered here in upper Michigan. It's mostly hard maple and beech. Last year was my first year burning, and I have been to busy to get into my woods, so I am buying again this year to have it on hand. Plan to cut this winter.

Thats a very good price Doug, here at the hay auctions a good size pickup load of wood will go over $125,
