There is farm country in the eastern Upper Peninsula, and Pickford is the middle of it — hayfields and dairy barns on the flats, cedar swamp at the edges, the Munuscong running down toward the bay. E.U.P. Tree Service LLC. works those wide lots and windbreaks: removing spruce and poplar that have gone heavy over a roof, trimming and pruning while the ground is frozen hard enough to carry a truck. Snow loads here are serious, and so is the storm damage cleanup after a March blow, with tops dragged out of driveways and brush cleared before the melt buries it. When the plow can get through and the roofline is clear, winter gets a good deal shorter. Pickford, Rudyard, Barbeau, Kinross and the Chippewa County roads between.
