NOTICE FROM J.D. Irving, Limited
We are actively buying birch and maple pulpwood (sorted, separately) at our Sussex Chip Plant but that will be processed into chip form by mobile flail chipper instead of through the chip plant.
This means we prefer the pulpwood in “random lengths” from 8-feet to 16-feet long rather than as 8-foot or 9-foot pieces for the chip plant.
These specifications reflect this change.
We are no longer buying mixed hardwood, just sorted birch or maple which can be delivered on the same truckload but that will be unloaded and weighed as separate products.
All our posted prices and specifications are available online here: https://irvingwoodlands.com/jdi-woodlands-wood-producers.aspx
