    Watching that Tigercat walk up the hill was impressive! I grew up a few miles from there, about 1/4 mile east from the Short Covered bridge and probably hunted deer and elk in that area before!

    Wondering how much they get paid per board foot for the logs. Or do they get paid by the ton. I live in Ohio and have to pay $400 per thousand board feet for white pine logs.

      Varies depending on length/grade . Doug Fir export is at about $1200/mbf (1,000 board foot) Japan sort at Weyerhaueser.
      Domestic mills (Local) are at $850/mbf for 40ft logs here in NW Oregon right now at RSG Forest Products. 😉👍

    Is it a stupid question to ask will Mother Nature be able to keep up with replenishing with today’s technology in logging !!

    • @kennymay3855
      @kennymay3855  Před 3 lety +4

      we don't rely on "Mother Nature" to do the replenishing...for every mature tree that is harvested many more are replanted and managed for future harvests!
