Reading threads on here relating to land & timber make me cringe.
It really makes me doubt 95% of the information that gets posted regarding other topics.
Especially on topics in which I’m not educated.

I’ve never seen a property thats been cut, whether thinned or cleared, that there weren’t numerous empty 5 gallon hydraulic fluid buckets, and blown out tires left behind, after the workers were gone. I’ve also never seen a crew that fulfilled their promise to repair the roads. I have , I know two up here that don't leave a mess , cut what they're supposed to , leave the roads in good shape, etc. They get the best tracts too.
"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

I just had 15 acres of 20+ year loblolly that has been thinned as it should, clear cut. My adjacent neighbors had a thinning. So 15 acres of pine logs and another 15-20sh acres thinned. In Houston county I got $23.50/ton for pine logs. Pulp wood was pretty much nothing at $2.50/ton. I haven’t gotten my numbers back yet but my consultant says I MAY have had one load of pulp. Everything else was logs.
I used a forestry consultant out of Opelika.

Good luck finding anyone that will even return your calls with that small property. I’ve got 22+ acres and I’ve been ghosted by 3 outfits. Can’t seem to find any interest. Forestry consultant struck out as well and gave up
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin

The crew that just left my place didn’t leave much behind except wood debris.

I’ve also never seen a crew that fulfilled their promise to repair the roads. Last summer we thinned several hundred acres across five tracts and had zero hydraulic buckets or tires left behind. A couple of random pieces of trash like the cap of a tube of grease or a shop rag but that would fill less than a plastic grocery bag. Our timber buyer sent a dozer back to blade the roads and fix the water bars. They are not perfect but you have to realize that modern mechanized logging is going to leave a mess. The good news is that Mother Nature is resilient and does a pretty good job of getting back to being productive.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

A neighbor up the road from me in Elmore county just had some pines cut on 25 acres so somebody will cut it if you can find them I guess.
