Comments: 3rd quarter 2006 southern New England stumpage price survey
- Oak prices are 60% of 2003 prices - fuel will put us out of business
- Traveling further for lots; markets seem stable; some work out of state / work being pushed to winter months; picking up logs under 2 Mbf per load here and there. Some loads being given, others paying for removal.
- Mills seem to be dropping prices on logs
- Red oak not likely to rise much for up to 5 years. Too bad. White pine holding; lots of remodeling, etc.
- Low grade markets are very poor. Just hoping markets will rise.
- Stop the rain!!
- Oak prices dropped.
