High tech logging

Trees may grow back like weeds and that exactly what you get after a chipping operation comes in WEEDS! junk wood grey birch,soft maple. and the tops are more valuble left behind then gobbled up by some chipper ! the market that chips are good is the contractor thats trying to pay for his over priced logging operation that he choose to buy ! its safe to say that in the end the landowner typically splits the log value why don't the bio mass guys start splitting the chips with the landowner? I didn't think so. Also why do the large Co. need a 37-40 inch chipper? there is no need to chip anything over 4-6 inches as there is a lot more money in round wood to the landowner then chips. they are chipping a lot of log wood in those stupid things and I have seen it first hand myself !!
