Do you mean for pulp?
I just signed a contract for $6 per ton on a first thinning, so all pulp; however it is a good bit more than that for chip-n-saw or saw timber.



That's all pine will sell for here is pulp. Friend of mine just cleared 25 acres of big pines. Probably 40 years old.

Nobody is buying here. And with one pulp mill within 4 hours now, pulp is hard to sell too.
