So I have 36 acres that are in the forestry program. It was in the program when I bought it, so for tax purposes I just continued it. Last year they required a new application and a new plan so I wrote my own and provided an aerial view with 3 areas that I was going to harvest the trees and make some 1 acre food plots. Well the storm came through on Friday and laid down a bunch of trees. Most were old tall pines, cedars and tulip poplars. I haven't been able to walk through it all cause it is a mess.
I don't know if I can get a logger to come harvest anything cause it's mainly big pines which don't bring alot. I don't want to log my whole property cause it was select cut about 2010 and they took most of the good ones. I'm going to call the property assessor and see what I need to do about my forestry plan.
Any advice from any of you on a way forward if maybe this has happened to your property would be appreciated.
Pros: I have a Case 450 dozer and a chainsaw so I could just make a big burn pile and maybe work every weekend and have a nice place for a food plot by the fall.
The area of destruction is about 100 yards by 250 yards I'm guessing.
