I have been working up numbers in compliance of page 48 of the 8th edition for our chapter for 2000. I have noticed a substantial decrease in available size of nursery stock available in our region.

With this drop is readilly available stock there is comes a problem with making the switch from replacement size to TFM. Has anyone else working on their respective chapters numbers for the new year seen this? When the 8th first came out in 92 the differences in these numbers made sense in a mathematical way. Please let me know what you are seeing.

I will try to get my stuff together with a sample of my problem in the next day or two and we can all attack, support or just plain talk about it.

Thanks

Hi Bill. To be technically correct the data you are assembling are costs but I know what you're doing.

Without seeing your example problem, let me jump in with an observation. If the problem you are encountering is an unavailability of replacement material above say X inches would X become the threshold to switch to TFM?
