I guess they were going to just chip it or something because it was too small for anything else. Hate to lose all that virgin timber. Even when they replant with plantation pines it just ain't the same.Caustic Burno":xvvxzu7a said:Yep it's still operating they have clsoed down the plywood plant in Silsbee and the Paper mill in Lufkin.
They are building a pellet mill to make wood pellets to go to Germany. Most are excited as it is going to create about fifty full time job's here not counting the loggers. TB it has gotten so bad most of the logger's went bankrupt and you seldom see a truck on the road anymore.
They want to log my place in East Texas. I have actually talked to a few. Not one wants to selectively harvest. ALL want to clear cut and they want to take out the old growth hickory right along with everything else. No dice. Now if they would quit sending me solicitations over and over everything would be good. I think they are hoping I get down on my luck - extremely hungry or something.
