How come you clear cut so early

How come you clear cut so early

Depends on the land owner some are down around 40 years it’s what they have found to be the most profitable they can get 1 stick of export maybe a short stick of domestic and then pulp. A longer rotation by 10 to 15 years you could see two long stick of export and a piece of pulp with maybe a short stick of domestic. One other problem is the mills have been tooling up to a smaller butt diameter one of the ones up here is 24” max.

@Skeans1 said it well. The growth in that stand had slowed quite a bit if I remember correctly. Different land owners do things different as well. Weyerhaeuser generally harvests fairly young trees, and RFP tends to let them grow a little longer.

Wife and little one decided they wanted to go to the zoo in Portland well next door is the forestry center with an A model 1270 plus a full running simulator we all got to play on for a while.

Thanks Once I zoomed in those trees are a decent size
Yes I see now I was thinking the mills where still after oversize
It’s a similar situation here nobody is geared too cut big diameter timber
20ft or 6m is the longest as well

Rhode Island. Nice job. Some real nice Red Oak . Landowner knows log market and doesn't want to take a chance on losing more to gypsy moth.
