[QUOTE="pass-thru, post: 1707682, member: 2382"] Planting rate....if you are planting by hand with a hoe dad on soft pasture ground....50+ an hour shouldn't be a problem. If you have hard ground and/or need to chop through roots to get them in the ground, that number will plummet. There are mechanized tractor pulled tree planting machines that can knock out thousands in a day, if you are planting pastureland. Planting densitities will depend on what your goals are, the state forester should be able to tell the options. There are different schools of thought regarding which densities are most profitable for future timber cuts. I've got about 15 acres that is just about ready for the first cut. Half planted in '89, the rest a few years later. Before cutting I'm going to look at options and impact on deer hunting will be a consideration. I'll probably open it up a lot more than what is normal for a 20 year cut. [/QUOTE]
