Last summer I went through my woods and paint ringed the dead ash trees that the EAB had killed. Had maybe 14 trees. Decided to cut and haul some now as I had some time between projects. I don't normally cut in warm weather but sometimes you do what you have time for.
Quite a shock as now there are several hundred dead up there. Sad to see as it was a nice stand but it will be put to use at least. Plus, it is on the homeplace so no road time. Cut some yesterday and loaded/unloaded 2 loads this morning. Hard to beat a nice piece of ash!
Won't cut too much as about 5 more cord will fill the furnace house for next Winter.I already had about 9 cord in there I'll leave the rest in "standing storage" for next year. Never thought I'd see that whole woods wiped out like that.
