Down here, and in Mississippi they do. Some of the best lumber comes off of government land. Plation pine for serious production is even easier since they only have to manage for one use. Government is MUSY.
Like I said, places like Weyerhauser and Soterra have the lowest age of clearcutting down here. Moast areas are between 17 and 21 years. There is a critical point in the growth curves where the individual tree growth starts slowing down. Foresters have measured those since the beginning of time, and they typically update their data once a year. Computers model it though. They manage based off of those models
See, not so hard is it?

individual tree growth is not the only variable to account for
