Pine straw land as investment questions

Does anyone have any experience owning land that is harvested for pine straw?
How much land is needed?
What are some smart things to look for when searching for property?
And many other questions

Good luck finding someone to collect pine straw now.

I have no input at all, but you’ve got the best username on TD.

A lot of it is being harvested around here in southern Alabama. Long leaf is the preferred variety.
There was a large amount of land put in the government pine program 20 years ago and now those people are making bank. Most rents for 125 to 150 an acre. Row crop land around 75 an acre.

What pine stands don’t allow for pine straw collection before they are cut down?
Are there some pine stands that are for timber and some for straw? I mean, those trees have to come down some time right?

Planted longleaf pine is best for straw harvest.
Planted loblolly or slash works ok if managed for minimal hardwood competition.
Naturaly regenerated forests are not good for pine straw harvesting due to lack of rows and hardwood competition.

Got it. But at one point, you’ll have tk harvest trees.
Are there certain pines for straw that can be harvested once they reach a certain size?
Or can straw produces get as big as they want and keep producing?

I don’t know anything about straw farming but I do know about tree farming

Yes. Heard rumors that some of the gatherers were fertilizing them to make more straw. But I haven’t witnessed that

I don't have experience but I can't imagine its worth your time unless you already own the land. You can get a hell of a lot of straw off just a couple of acres, and there's millions of acres of long leaf planted around the south.
ETA: for example I have literally one mature long leaf in my yard and it gives me literally more then enough pine straw to landscape my house. My parents have I don't know 10-15 trees and they are tired of the stuff.

That’s the plan and we are just looking at what types of land would provide any income.
Although we don’t really care, we just want to start buying land.

No Mexicans, no dinero. Your timing in terms of labor supply right now is pretty bad.
