re: Timber cutting - would you be mad?

It is a "Pay as Cut" contract with $9/ton for pulp and $13/ton for ChipnSaw. There are no sawlogs on the property and he is only thinning the planted pines not the hardwoods in the holler. He estimated that he could take 4000 tons in a clearcut or about 1200 tons in thinning. I estimate about 12K for the thinning. He is supposed to leave basal area of 70 square feet of trunks per acre when done. I don't know shite about forestry, but my late uncle, a retired forester, advised me on how to manage it when I bought it. The purpose of the thinnings is not necessarily for the money now, it supposedly helps you get to sawlog stage quicker.

this sounds pretty reasonable.

hell, you are opening the property up where he will be able to hunt it easier and see more
he should thank you
