I live in Kansas too, let me know what ditch you throw it in.
I have MILES of creeks with ash and hackberry's covering them! it is just that i would LIKE to get something outta the wood hell i could have a dozer in there and spend a lot of money and have it cleared in a couple weeks.
On the "yuppies" thing. I've been selling in Western KS and I'm starting to assume that only people with extra money will buy pleasure/fireplace wood. Maybe thats why they want oak. I also am charging somewhat of a premium ($125 a rick $225 a cord) for 20" pieces and am adding in the extra to actually make a cord. I would just like to be able to get 200 a cord out of the hackberry and keep selling it. I drive out there 3 or 4 times a week and anytime i go without wood its COSTS fuel is to expensive to go empty for my "real" job
