[AT] firewood

[Larry D Goss]

The Emerald Ash Borer is a little flying critter that is only about a half 
inch long.  We have sickly mosquitoes that are bigger.

The hardwood quarantine has already hit Indiana growers big time.  There was 
an article in the paper this week about an interview with a tree farmer who 
has 70 acres of Ash.  The restricted shipping rules cut their profits by 
about 50%.  Out-of-state companies paid a lot more money for the wood than 
the local ones did.
