My forest2market bookmark won't work anymore. They use to give out a free price report, but prob have to pay now. What is hardwood and pine pulpwood going for now with this wet weather?

Timber prices are always local in nature and there are a lot of factors, distance to mill, weather, road access and internal roads, type of timber and species, mills available, volume of timber available and many more.

This is a thinning, it's time. I have chip n saw prices, I just need pulp prices. It's wet around here and mills are not full yet.

Actually in this particular case we could wait a little while, but I don't see prices coming up anytime soon. This is a very light 2nd thinning, but were trying to get this stand to where we can wait on a good price increase and then clear. Hopefully 5-7 years down the road it'll pick up. I marked it feb 2014 but the paint should be good for 2-3 years. We just want to get it lightly thinned so it can grow until whenever prices rebound. It's 25 yrs old, 200 trees per acre, most of the trees we're taking out will be small CNS with a little pulp here and there. We have wavered on whether to just forget the thinning and just wait till prices increase and clear, but the Right thing to do is thin, then wait IMO. I know this market is depressed and depressing. Right now in my area small CNS is around 14.00 a ton and large CNS is around 17.00 depending on location. I agree, I certainly want a good job done. We're familiar with local loggers.

Hate to hijack a thread but ya'll have struck a raw nerve with me. "Distance to the mill" is BS!!! Why should a land owner get more for his timber because he is further from the mill?? I can understand the logger making more because of fuel and turn around time but the land owner should be the same. If anything, the closer to the mill should get more because of the affects of the mill (according to some). Most we can usually get out of an AC unit is 3 years. Heating and cooling companies have stopped giving warranties in my area and say its because of the mill. There have been lawsuits over this and they have paid for some new units. Besides that, the same timber 10 miles from the mill should be paid the same as 50 miles from the mill. If ya'll can't tell I live close to TWO mills. The landowners closer to the mill should get paid more than those further away. Mills sometimes pay buyers more to bring wood from further distances to their mill but the landowner usually still gets less because of the fuel cost and time, etc for the longer travel. Maybe the difference you are seeing is just what the buyer is willing to pay and does not reflect the delivered mill prices.

Maybe the difference you are seeing is just what the buyer is willing to pay and does not reflect the delivered mill prices. I agree that is the way it should work but it doesn't. Not only that but dealers get different prices at the mill causing some to have harder times competing. There is a lot of buddy-buddy stuff that hurts some landowners. I'm not asking to be paid more for my closeness to the mill, just the same. I have also seen some mill tickets where the logger says they are cutting 3 counties away from where they are actually cutting so the landowner could get a better price. I talk to people in the timer business everyday and its a back stabbing ugly situation out there. We were really screwed when IP bought Union Camp and Hammermill.

OK, made a phone call. Yes, the landowner makes more $ for the same timber the further away. . The landowner does not 'make' more stumpage for selling timber further away from the mill. Zone pricing was created to attract wood from longer distances to the mill. In a perfect world, it would act in a way that the landowner receives comparable stumpage pricing than those landowners closer to the mill. It is not perfect and creates situations (some you have already mentioned) where some can take advantage of it. Personally, I believe zone pricing should be ended. Some mills are already putting a stop to it.

The landowner "makes" whatever price he negotiates for, whether your close or far away. I'm close, I know it, so I ask for more money. The logger can get more loads out which reduces his cost and some of that needs to come my way. It's a negotiation just like buying a car.

Explain how F2M is a villian. They've been really spot on in our area. Where would a landowner get an idea of the market if he only sells once every three years? I've called mills before and most of them will not give out a price unless you already have a contract with them. My dad gets a green sheet but its only quarterly. It lined up perfectly with F2M in the past. Where's a good informative pricing guide for landowners?????? I need to know.

I'll give you one guess.
