Pine tree forestry is the easiest kind because their are growth numbers for your area that include things like soil type mainly. Everything is already mapped out for them and they have to do no work.
right
it's not as subjective as hardwood management, but it is hardly as "cookie-cutter" as you make it sound.

It pretty much is.

Yes it is. Growth/yield tables are easily accessed for each area. They come with density per age graphs. Soil types are readily accessible for each area, which show potential growth for each species in that specific area. They are normally as precise as 10-50ft.
Just have to figure out what type of timber, contracts, where to sell it, and what loggers to put on the property. Sometimes you want slow loggers and sometimes you want fast loggers. Just all depends, but the tree information is already taken care of.
