    Not sure who all follows "In the Woodyard" but thought I would share this wood yard he stumbled across the other day and posted about today.

    Haven't watched the whole thing yet but will say when I lived near Escanaba I also knew guys who also sold firewood in Chicago. That is a long trip but was always told it was well worth it for the prices they got.

    That was something to see. I seldom watch long videos like that too. Something for jrider to do when he retires! I kept waiting for the black locust pile too!

    Wow that is crazy amont of wood. Quite the operation.
    So well organized too.
    Wonder what they're paying for a cord of wood in Chicago?
    Interesting to see the dry time of those cone piles.
    Thanks for sharing thebierguy

    For what it’s worth, in years past I have sold morel mushrooms. I got around $40 a pound. One of my buyers would take them to downtown Chicago as he had relationships with head chefs at fancy restaurants. He would get $90 a
    pound down there.

    I like how absolutely everything is sold and nothing goes to waste. That's what I strive to do...on a slightly smaller scale of course (only 70 more employees to go!).
