Pile a bunch and light a match. Once the locals know you're serious that it needs gone, you might get some takers. If not, enjoy the industrial sized weenie roast!
Every bigger farmer around here is taking out all the fencelines they can to make fields bigger. For people willing to work, there's no shortage of free wood. There does seem to be a shortage of people willing to work, however :msp_sad:
I'll put up a standing offer for anyone that wants free box elder, with a little cherry and elm out of my fencelines. I'll help cut and load. Star Prairie area. If I do it myself, the elm and cherry go on the stacks, most of the box elder goes up in smoke out in the field.
Steve, I didn't realize you were that far South - I thought you were up closer to Superior. Bummer about the little boy who died from the snowplow earlier after the storm in your town. Really sad to hear about that.
A Mennonite neighbor of mine and I are cutting one of the treelines now. HE's taking the dead elm and I'm just piling anything else. I have enough seasoned that I don't mind giving him the stuff ready to go. He' pretty happy with how the elm burns. We are saving back some of the larger, straight trees to see if a logger wants 'em.
Is this a pin oak?

Farmerboybill, what road are you on? I have some land out past the airport. If you are still looking come spring time, I may be interested. My wood supply this winter is, well, its green.. and it sucks.
What kind of keywords are you guys using in your ads?
I'm just northwest of town off county K I can see all the "new" development from my farmstead. Thinking about buying a bunch of junk equipment to junk the place up and turn off buyers.
Well here is the ad with my phone # redacted. Critique if you will.
The title is "looking for hardwood to cut".
I am looking for a farm that has been logged in order to cut up tops or volunteer trees that have tipped over/dead. I am familiar with timber stand improvement too. I will help you in any clearing activity you may need such as fencelines and edges of fields in return for access. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. The goal is to establish a long term relationship that is beneficial to both of us.
The ideal location would be no further than 15-20 miles from Onalaska.
