What you are missing is that wood is free, why would you pay for it?
Here in Lincolnshire we have signs outside small holdings and farms etc asking you to just take the wood away.

I'm in Lincolnshire.  I've seen them cutting down trees, but I have not seen them asking people to take it away.  The worse thing I have seen is when the chip it up and I think  I could be burning that.

Painful isn't it! 

If you don't ask you don't get, worse they will say no but you might find they say when they are gone what happens to any wood left is nothing to do with them.

Buy wood kiln dried or seasoned in bulk. Plenty of nationwide companies or some probably local to you. WE use 3cubic meters every winter - approx. £300. Having a log burner is a luxury and not cheap anymore, unless you forage for wood in the wild but you need to know what wood it is as some cannot be used in a burner and then you will need to season/dry for anything from 1-2 years depending what wood it is.
