[QUOTE="singinwoodwackr, post: 4762749, member: 77536"] When I worked on a firewood crew in the central valley (Cali) we got $40/cord in the Almond orchards...bucked to 18-20", anything you couldn't pick up with one hand had to be split (maul), piled at the stump, brush piled between the two rows you were working. Wood was sold for $70/cord, you pick up...farmer got $15/cord and the foreman/broker got $15. 16" wood paid another $10 for the cutter. We were responsible for all our own gear but the 'boss' would buy chain by the 100' roll and sell to us at cost. this was in the early '90s. I would hope rates are higher now :p [/QUOTE]
