I’m wondering if the truck market going to bust in the next year or so???? There’s a lot of 60k trucks bought in the past couple years I’m hoping to grab one for half price when gas gets 4$ gallon I seriously doubt that will happen. Were there trucks at half price in 2010? I didn’t see any.

Long as grain prices go up with it I’m good. Which they are. Finally But stumpage prices on timber are still dirt cheap, in spite of lumber being outrageous prices. The world has always been rigged against the little guy, but it seems to be getting worse. I had to buy 5 sheets of 5v tin 12' long to finish a shed and they were over $30 each. And I bought a couple of 2x4s as a brace for hauling them and they were $10 each. An enterprising young man who didn't mind work could do very well right now with his own little sawmill. After an event like the past hurricane, you can find trees for nothing. I just gave a dozen away to a guy with a sawmill.

You can close the coffin lid on the logging industry. Its been dying. A living and some really high payments is all youre gona make. I can take one pickup truck with my gear in it, spend $25 on gas and make more money in an 8hr day with one man helping me than a logging crew with a cutter, two skidders, a loader operator, and two trucks hauling as fast as they can. I guarantee you at the end of the day, when all expenses are paid, i put more money in the bank. The timber industry today is a way to wear out mens bodies and equipment to just make a living. I am sure you are right about that. I don't see how any of the small logging crews stay in business. You ever consider buying one of the portable sawmills? Looks to me like it would fit in well with what you do. Put it under a shed and you could work on days when weather is too bad to climb trees. I'm good a dreaming up work for someone else to do.

I had a friend with a sawmill. I gave him logs now and then and when i needed lumber sawed he would do it for free. It was a pretty good deal for both of us. He sold his mill. I have three other friends with mills. There are some mills who will saw on the halves. At one time i had a bad habit of getting lumber milled and piling it up. Alot of my lumber rotted before i ever got to using it. Termites are bad about getting in it. I just get it sawed up one project at a time now. It is nice to think about but i stay pretty busy as it is
