A lot of vary valid points but in reality there is not much of a market left for pro saws almost all the cut and skid operations are gone.There isnt much timber left to cut here in Canada the paper mill is running full bore with a couple of hundred employees running on worn out equipment making a fortune as never before as it is selling its electric power generated from its hog fuel boiler which is suppossed to burn saw dust and scrap but it gets fed a lot nicer wood than that.There was 6000 men in this mill at one time and thousands more in their bush camps and they made fortunes back then.The wood is all supplied by contractors and with the huge increase in lumber prices since covid no raise for the wood supplied by the contractor.The paper companies are sending contractors in to cut tiny patches of immature wood 20 cords here 10 cords 5 miles up the road.they are chipping stuff the size of a small limb.I see loads of logs heading to the saw mill. Pecker poles when I was cut skid they would have culled the whole load and that was for pulp if you tried to sell saw logs you needed really big wood not now.The mill can not get trades men because they dont pay enough and their CEOs who probably make a bigger salary than the whole mill force claim they are broke due to the cost of mill labor.Kash
