[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5064955, member: 20594"] Update on the cedar harvest/thinning project....Met with the Forester today and walked the property....very knowledgeable guy...he believes we have enough cedar to bring a crew in....some logs big enough to saw for lumber....smaller stuff will be chipped....all of it will be trucked to Kentucky for processing....only challenge he is seeing is with him getting the big rig that hauls logs to the location deep in the property but he said he'll figure it out..... according to him the cedar market is strongest in the summer so that's when they do the most of their work...plus he doesn't like to get his equipment in the timber in the wet winter months...ruts, etc....in reality our job is small for this outfit but he said we caught him at a good time.....we are located inbetween two big contracts ....one of which is close is wrapping up so he's going to "try" to squeeze us in....but if he can't get it this summer....then it will be next summer...but when the time comes he said his crew will be in and out in one week..no more than two... weather permitting.....next step is he's going to put a proposal together describing the project and email it to me for review next week.....I'm hoping we can get the harvest complete this summer to get the canopy open and sunlight on the ground....but I know habitat improvements take time and we have to be patient....it just I've been studying on this project a while and am just anxious to get going.
