Back before the bottoms were cleared and farmed many if not most loggers had a bad reputation. They would get a lease and ignore any boundaries, just cut as far as they could get within reason from the original. If they ever got caught the old excuse was “ I thought I was on grandma’s 40.” The wife and I bought my grandma’s south 40 from my cousin last year. The white oak is dying out around here, so we decided to have it logged out. Fortunately we have a friend in the business who owns a 20 next to us, he got right on it. These white oak logs will go to a stave mill in Tennessee. The red and black oak and hickory will probably be used for crane mats. We’ll leave most everything under 20” unless it’s dying or has a problem. I hate to see it go but it was time. [/QUOTE]
