"It's getting worse and worse and worse," said mill general manager Brian Boltz. "There are pockets where [the insect] isn't there yet, but people are still worried. For the last two or three years, they've been going in and cutting all their ash trees, no matter how big and no matter if they're dead or not. We tell people we don't want it, but it still comes in. So we make it into Little League or miniature bats, even low-end amateur. But we won't do any professional bats because we don't really know how dead it is."
