I'll trade somebody two woods for a stone...I need to upgrade my town to a city.
or can I now expect to get more than one stone for my two woods?

I figured it sounded like a movie reference.

I have a great uncle who made a small fortune selling dirt. He sold a bunch of land that was intended for development (commercial and residential). The buyer/developer tried to force him off of the land well ahead of the agreed deadline. He didn't care for it. So, my uncle set up a shack and started selling dirt. Day and night dump trucks ran in and out of the property. By the time the transaction was finalized and the new owner/developer took possession of the land, the land was a valley.
People from the area would know the land. It is/was the eventual site of a minor league baseball stadium, among other things.
They tried to sue him, but failed. He was still the legal owner and there was nothing in the contract about the dirt/soil.
ETA: That has nothing to do with lumber futures, but the talk about dirt gave me a flashback.

I've heard it called roller lumber. They ship it before it's even sold.

Dirt and lumber apply to mineral rights?

Wood shouldnt be a commodity any more than dirt is.
Considering that wood is used to build things, and dirt is not...
then yes, it should.

Wood is exactly a commodity. It’s an agricultural commodity.

So does this mean wood prices are finally coming down to non-insane levels?
