You just do not like the answers you are getting do you?
The ONLY 30 inch wide planers you will find will be industrial models. Even wide belt sanders in this width are industrial models... you will spend anywhere from $10k to $50k for one of these machines.
Your ONLY other hope of finding one this large is at an auction... either ebay or an industrial machine auction (more likely than on ebay)
Here is a 40 inch model up for auction - http://www.mlsmachinery.com/onlineCatalog/details.asp/cat/1420/auct/0/liq/0/id/19888/p/1/rpp/10
and they have a few 30 and 36 inch models - http://www.mlsmachinery.com/onlineCatalog/catalog.asp/cat/1420
Here is another auction company with many listings from plant closings - http://www.irsauctions.com/index.asp?ind=50
Here is a new 32" planer and its only $79k - http://www.wwthayer.com/new-NO-NT-820HCHD-XLT.asp
Here is a reconditioned 36" model - they dont say how much it is - http://www.hermance.com/level3.asp?mode=u&cattypeid=138&itmid=359933#top
Theyve got 2 other reconditioned models at that site also, again, with no price listed.
Here are some wide belt sanders - http://www.northtechmachinery.com/
TimeSavers is another brand of widebelt sanders, and Ive had good experience with them.
Now...Ive given you several links to used and new machines, and auctions. If you do a search "Industrial woodworking machinery" you'll turn up more.
If all these repeated questions are about resurfacing ONE cutting board.... you'd be ahead to throw it away and buy a few hundred more, compared to what these machines will cost you to purchase, let alone ship, set up, and operate.
If you want to go into production making thinner cutting boards, then find the plastics manufacturer of the cutting board you are looking at, and ask THEM about making a thinner version for you, rather than planing theirs down.
Good Luck

A 30" planer is definitely in the industrial category. Even then it is rare. Would a wide belt sander suit your purposes? Fitted with a course sanding belt, they can be quite aggressive in removing material - although obviously not as aggressive as a planer. Several companies make what they call a 16/32. It's a 16" belt with an open end so that you can run wider material and sand up to 32" using two passes. Even those machines are pricey, but much cheaper than an equivalently sized planer. If this is something you'll need to do only occasionally, you can sometimes rent time on a commercial shop's machine.

I know they make planers that big, but I imagine they cost a LOT of money. Do a search for wood planer 30 it got me a result quickly, but the only one I looked at was for sale from some company and I don't know where they are or where you are.

Jointers are built with an open side as they are designed to dress surfaces no more than 6".
You would not want to try to feed a wide board through an open sided planer - it would be very hazardous.
Planers more than 15 to 20" are Industrial.
They require large motors to drive them - most homes electrical systems would not be capable of supplying the power to them safely.
The cost is astronomical unless you can purchase on older one at an Industrial Auction (it would be sold "as is" (no guarantee).
Good Luck

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.
