I have more wood right now than I have ever had. I need to get the tape out and measure it but I am thinking around 20 cord. The november logging of the place here resulted in the easiest cutting I have ever done. I am getting quite choosy about what I will deign to cut. I could putt up all White Oak if I wanted to The uglys are left on the ground. I will never get to it all before it rots. Sorry for being so smug about it.
I'm in the same situation in that I have more now than I ever have. Should be working on 22ish cords. And I do agree, we need .
Nice to be that far ahead and having the luxury of being picky about wood quality. Glad that we were such a positive influence.
We came through it ok. I had a lot of concern as we are tucked into the woods at the house. Never lost power so that was good.

I have most of it on pallets and top covered. I am out of rubber roofing and using tarps now. Not ideal but it should work. I think I should top out at 15 cord for personal use in the Yukon and sell the extra in the fall.
Loggers Incorporated. Clay City Indiana. 387 stems marked by me and a consulting forester. Marketed by the forester. 100K plus board feet. It was completely by chance but the sale auction was held at the top of the price value.
Was curious if it was Etienne Logging out of Perry County. Been watching a youtube channel of theirs for years now. How did you find the harvest? Everything go smoothly? I have also used a forester in the past. Job bonded? BMPs and seeding and all that? Did they cut the laying tops down under 6'? Basis for marking? (stem density/canopy/diameter) Did you plan for a return harvest in 15-20 years? What percentage is a forester getting over your way? Ya, I'm always interested in Timber Harvests. lol
Harvest went ok but from a landowners standpoint, there are no pretty timber harvests. Honestly it looks better than I was prepared for. Forester normally charges 10% but i got him down some. The ground already holds a lot of oak seedlings. Be interesting to see how they respond to the sunlight. Yes I hope to cut again in 10-12 years if I am still alive. I didn't hit it too hard and it had been almost 70 years since last cut. I had someone get in the barn and take some stuff about the time harvesting was occurring and I think it was the young man on the saw. He looked a little shady. Yes all BMPs etc. Had them leave the tops up for me. Easier... Forester is also calculating my tax burden for me.
I'm looking at my canopy lately. Not enough breaks in it. Beech are getting out of hand. Decent sapling stock waiting for sunshine.
Brokenstone , that is the situation I am in. I used Sam Bond on the home place. Stambaugh sold a little for us on the Perry County farm. Always best to have a forester handle the sale. have no idea how many cord in treetops here, but I want to cut up and clean up asap to keep it from getting wild. Considering buying a 3point limb chipper or having someone with a landscape grinder come and grind it all away in one day.
