Puzzles me that people are paying what they are for returns that don’t keep up with inflation.

Family trust bought a farm 35 yrs ago and paid for it with the hardwoods.
You can get 7.8% on some 5 yr investments, how would anyone with half a brain buy dirt or trees today?
LDS spent. $289,000,000 to purchase 41,000 acs and paid up to $7,300/ac for some in NE La. I’m seeing north of $19,000/ac in the Midwest for corn dirt ($3.90 bu).

It makes zero sense currently for your average Joe.

So it sounds like a conservative figure would be approx. $1K an acre?
That seem plausible?

Good. Now maybe people will quit ruining their land by planting pine trees

my area there is almost no market for any timber....if you are clearing land you are most likely going to pay to get it cleared and pay to have it hauled off. Paper recycling is about as simple as it gets and is apparently more efficient than cutting pulp wood. There is almost no building products made from SYP other than trusses and PT lumber and a significant portion of that is being hauled to the mill after the owner paid the logging company to clear it and cut it and the logging company may be better off financially to put it in a landfill than taking it to a mill. I run a sawmill as a hobby but it is a side hustle. I never pay a penny for a log. I have more quality hardwoods than I can handle. I get 3-4 calls a week from logging companies wanting to know if I can take 10,000 or so BF of oak and poplar....if it is cedar, walnut, cherry or cyprus I will take what I can but pine is straight out. I could get a million BF of 75 YO, high quality SYP saw logs delivered to my mill by the end of the month free of charge. There is almost no market for it at all. The problem I would have is logging companies would find out I had taken that million BF and want to know why I couldn't take theirs....
It's unbelievable how stupid you are. It really is.
