[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 4132754, member: 10041"] Timber per tree isn't a lot unless you have a veneer grade log. You make real money when you have 20 acres of them. If you have 10+ acres I suggest you use a consulting forester to administer your sale. They charge about 8% but you get it back in better prices and they make sure the logger has insurance and the clean up is what was expected. You also know the value before bidding and get paid before the trees are cut. If you only have a few acres a logger doesn't have enough work to bring in $1M in equipment, so you'd need to find a logger working in the area and strike a deal. Try to do some chainsaw work before the cut or just after to kill the undesirable elm, maple, hornbeam, etc. so they don't make your next forest. Avoid diameter limit cut if you can (high grading).
