On Today’s Show:

  • I discuss a number of emails and messages I received about the current state of the industry.

  • A conversation worth having. What’s your take?

  • Groups call for closing forest roads and stopping prescribed burns to save the planet.

  • Prescribed fire insurance rates go from $10k a year to $100,000 a year. Local Governments and small businesses can no longer afford to burn.

  • Plus much more.
