Irving ....  we try to avoid them if possible. They want more private wood they say.... what a bunch of you know what. The president of the NB federation of woodlot owners wrote in to the forum section of the Moncton Times & Transcript on tuesday of this week,great letter ,on tuesday the vice president of woodlands writes in with his reply.It's worth reading if you are local , and its probably on the website for the paper .

   My opinion on irving is that they flushed out all the small private mills in all the small towns around here. Those mills were the main employer for those places, and they all used to have a small chunck of crown to work with. Irving gets all the goverment support because they are a big employer and tax payer ...... they have our goverment by the jingle bells in my opinion. Grrrrrrr....

I don't want to start anything, but if Irving pays good down that way, then things must be real bad. This is exactly their tactic, to pay more and truck further than to pay fare price to local woodlot owners. One day you will look to sell wood and Irving will be the only game in town and the price will drop. They pay the least of any outfit and we have records from reports from decades of sales. They also buy the least, they change specs on a whim, shut mill gates and all the sudden expect the wood yesterday.  ::) They also are the slowest to pay on deliveries, can be up to 1 year and being in arrears for $1M or more in payments to woodlot organizations is not uncommon with those jokers. They have tried to break woodlot owner organizations for years and have failed at every turn. The more they squeeze the tougher we get. ;D

Ask pappy his opinion from northern Maine. ;)
