In the landing flair [for] Runway 14 in BFD there was a plane that departed on Runway 23 crossing our runway. We made calls at 15; 10; 5 miles and short final and were talking to the ground Maintenance guy [who] at 15 miles told us he was fixing the taxi light; so we know we were on the right frequency. The aircraft taking off made no radio calls. I understand it is an uncontrolled field and there is no requirement for a radio however we landed on the favored runway and were approached by the [pilot] who stated he never heard us and it was our fault. There was no option for a go-around as this would have caused us to most likely collide; instead we opted for max breaking and stopped just short of the crossing runway. The runways are hindered by trees so if you takeoff from one end you are unable to see the other runway because of the forest. They should have to at least cut a line of sight out to check for traffic.
The Captain of a turboprop twin landing Runway 14 at BFD using CTAF procedures encounters a Biplane taking off on Runway 23. Maximum braking is applied by the Captain to stop short of the intersection and avoid the Biplane. Neither pilot heard the other although both state they were using CTAF procedures.
