but really, what should be happening is that farmers should be ringing their fields w it to stop the runoff of soil and fertilizer. when they are able to push that all back onto the fields years later, it becomes worth it.
and w the right machinery, you could knock the piles down, take the soil, and stack the logs back up. time, true. but soil is all, so why arent we not just conserving it, but making it as fast as we can.

and they could get paid tipping fees to dump the wood/landscape waste in the first place.

i agree that it is a long term thing. seems long term thinking is out of fashion.
