Trees hitting the ground

[flhunter]

So far we have a total of 8 large poplars, 6 large red oaks and 35 black walnuts ,and the loggers have not finish .
We are thinning the woods to make room for the oaks to grow.

sounds like a very select cut. Are you happy with the job they have done at not damaging other trees? How about clean up? Are they leaving the tops for cover or taking it all?

Snap a couple of pics when you get the chance...I like seeing pics of TSI and not afraid to admit it.

Yes they are doing a great job,very carefull about damaging other trees, so far only what we targeted is going down.They will run over the tops with a dozer and matted it all down , we have someone coming to cut some of the tops for firewood.also when they are ready to leave will grade with the dozer and spread grass seed on the bare spots.Logs price will be up for bid with several buyers

I keep hearing how prices are down, yet my loggers say they are getting the exact same value they did late last summer.

I would think the prices would be sky-high right now due to all the rebuilding from the tornado disasters from above us and down south of us.

I hear walnut is doing very well right now.

Walnut is very high here right now. Speculation says we will be a buffer regulated county for thousand cankers pretty soon so everyone is cutting every walnut around. Post up some pics of your logging operation!

I have got to get my pics up sometime. My operation is on hold right now and has been for a couple of months due to the weather. I let the guys move to another job where they could keep working. My place is too steep for the wet weather. Hope to have them back mid June.

They finish cutting today and started to round up and bring down the logs ,over 75 black walnuts , I'm very happy with the work.
He told me walnut is way up,so is oak.
