The Northeast Logging Expo is this weekend in Essex Junction, VT.  Just like farming, things are changing in the forestry industry.  I did not see a single cable skidder, and there were almost no chainsaws present except for one booth, and they were promoting electric saws more than gas.  The big machines were bigger than ever, but there were more sawmills, firewood processors, grinders, shredders, and tree service equipment than logging displays.  An interesting note about the sawmills and processors was that the big commercial scale stuff was displayed beside a lot of small, homesteader type machines, but not much in between.  There was even a round baler for shavings.
