[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 675551, member: 2653"] What species of trees are there? I would imagine that it would be softwood, but more and more people are trying their hand at hardwoods. Red oak grows fairly fast and are user friendly - especially for the south. I do know a couple of guys that are loogers/ tree men. Apparently it's much more profitable than cattle, and a more stable industry. Around here many people "double crop" with cattle and pecan trees/orchards. I do a good bit of woodworking and regularly go back in the woods on our land to harvest trees to keep me supplied. You might have stumbled across a lucrative situation. Good luck! Your buyer will depend on what type of lumber you have, but you can probably get a good jump by looking up local loggers. They'll be able to give you a good idea of the timber's worth. [/QUOTE]
