I assume all locusts are the same with regard to their ability to resist rotting.
This makes the lumber or poles milled from harvested tree extremely valuable as a
ground-contact rot-free (at least for many years) building material.

They could take timber harvesting equipment and chipper-shredders into the
area and
bring out economically valuable products with no harm to the operators.

Wasting natural resources such as this is commonplace these days. Not fully recycling human
and livestock manure is another example narrow-minded economic policy prevalent in these times.
Timber bamboo, various eastern and western cedars and locust are valuable plants that could be
fertilized with recycled municipal sewage and various types of livestock waste to produce robust growth
for dependable harvest cycles.
