3rd quarter 2004 comments on stumpage survey response forms

 

  1. Stumpage still very competitive
  2. Did not log in MA in the past six months
  3. Four sales to be marketed during this round, timed well, so it seems to have turned out, hear the markets, in general, are quite hot
  4. Wood cut is better than #4 logs (pallet, Ind grade). Also, on first sale includes pulling of tops so you could add $20 per mbf
  5. Prices reported by my foresters. NY and MA mills are outbidding local mills by 40-50%
