I have about 80 acres in pine and hardwood I am wanting to get logged off. Beetles are eating up the pines and I want some more pasture. I got 4 estimates and the highest dropped off a contract. As I read it I realized that it was all to cover his arse. There is a special provisions place in the contract and I want to make sure I have my bases covered. Anybody have experience bad or good they can share or ideas on what some provisions should be?

Myself, I bring the contracts to the blood sucker. One thing for sure is that they must have workers comp insurance for everyone. Even the truck drivers.

If you are clear cutting, make sure you have X amount of loading pads or they will tear everything up. Also, have a time limit set for when they start and when they are to finish.

I stepdad was a logger, so i worked quite a bit in the field.
Do you have a creek on ur place?
Are they paying a lump sum or by the 1000 biard feet.?
Quality of timber?
Getting money for pulpwood
Is your place dry or wet?
