[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1127054, member: 22072"] We have around 600 acres of trees that are 25 to 15 yrs old. When we bought the place we are on, there was a CRP deal for pines and 40 dollars an acre for 10 years thanks to the best president ever Ronald Reagan. The land cost us 260 an acre...Anywho, we've gone through fires, ice storms and droughts. Those pines are tough. The fire was caused by a careless neighbor and his home owners insurance paid damages. It was one colossal fire. But it was contained to a 80 acres lost. Last year my husband bought out a guy who had a logging company. So now we dont have to rely on loggers. My husband and son will finish the cutting which some will be saw timber, some are a few thinning away from saw timber. FYI, make sure you have other pines around you. Getting someone in there to thin the trees will be impossible unless there are a lot of trees to make it worth their while to move all their equipment. We've got a guy near us who just planted like 50 acres. Everything else around here that's in pines are way older and will be gone by the time his are ready to thin. So, he may have trouble getting anyone interested in harvesting. We went to a seminar for carbon credits, sounded like a lot of hogwash to me. But then again, i went for the free food...lol [/QUOTE]
