here in my part of CA any pine or fir can get $25 a green ton at a shavings mill.  the cogen plant last I heard was paying $25 a bone dry ton for chips, but with BCAP you can double that price.  Last year I heard our cedar mill was paying $500 mbf.  The other mill has been closed for 2 years, but I think they're going to open back up in a couple of months and I think they're going to start at $350mbf for pine.  I hope this info helps you out even though you're on the other side of the country.
Always try it twice, the first time could've been a fluke.

Pulp is moving well right now, mid 30s a ton for hardwood, 30 a ton for softwood if you have a quota at the shaving mill. Low grade tie and pallet log pricing is holding steady and the mills seem to have no problem moving material.
It ain't easy...

I don't know anything about pulpwood, but there was something that caught my eye this morning. Take this for what it is worth, if anything.

Scroll down to the part that says they were figuring 72.30  a ton for southern yellow pine pulp, making fuel at 1.80 a gallon. I believe that is dry matter basis, so I don't know how that figures out for regular pulp.

Probably somewhere around $30/ton green. Ball park.

That is $72.30 per ton of bone dry Southern pine biomass, with a yield of 67 gallons of gasoline per ton.  Sixty-seven gallons of gas weighs almost exactly 402 pounds, so that is a lot of wood to produce the gasoline.  Hopefully, they can get the yield up to the 92 gallons they are hoping, as 67 gallons of gas is 1.6 barrels, so four plants each using 1500 tons of bone dry biomass a day gives you 6000 tons of biomass and 9600 barrels of synthetic crude.  Since you have to cut, chip, transport, and then dry the wood, I am not sure if this really makes a lot of sense.

The US uses about 19 million barrels of petroleum products a day, so if you processed ONE million tons of bone dry Southern Pine chips a day, you would get, at the 92 gallon or 2.2 barrel per ton yield 2.2 million barrels of synthetic crude a day.  How many square miles of Southern Pine would it take to yield ONE million tons, and what would it take to transport that to a plant.  And that is just ONE DAY of production.  To sustain that for an entire year would take 365 Million tons of bone dry Southern Pine.

Trucking distance is factored in on the contract, plus it's export wood. Our marketing boards work out trucking zones with mills if they can.
