re: Logging contract questions

Hammer has most of it.
Remember that you can request load tickets from the mill.
Be up front on everything. Like H said, if going by the load theyre more apt to leave at anytime and can make a big mess.
Stress for them to push the tops in piles for burning.
Small piles left are excellent for wildlife cover.
Id leave a few of the bigger trees.
U get less money for low quality timber, as its harder and slower on the labor and equipment.
