I live in southern Indiana, in a rural farming community and around here we get about $45 to $50 a level full size pickup load. If it is a good tight load it will be almost exactly a 1/3 of a cord, or what we call a face cord. That is for oak, ash and cherry. In my younger day, we could fill a grain truck and take it to Louisville and get $175 a cord. We could get about 4 cords on the truck. this was in the early 80's. That was good money for a couple of high schoolers for a couple of days work. I have never bought wood in my life as there is always someone around here that has some to cut for free. In the last couple of years I have noticed that in the "big citys" near us they even sell it at convenience stores in very small ricks (about a wheel barrow load) for as much as $20. It amazes me the number of people that stand in line to buy it at that price. Sometimes I wonder if I am in the wrong business.
